"1. Make sure to research the healthcare options available to you and your baby in the area, including local midwives, obstetricians, and pediatricians. 2. Consider visiting a public health clinic in the area as soon as possible, especially if you need to access vaccines or supplies. 3. Consider taking a childbirth education course prior to the baby's birth, to give you a better idea of what to expect during labor and delivery. 4. Find out what the local hospital procedures are and make sure you take any necessary paperwork with you when you go in for delivery. 5. Look into creating a support network by connecting with other expats near you who have had a baby. 6.
