What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Macedonia?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Macedonia about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"I'd recommend my same doctors and hospital. It couldn't have been a more perfect experience. I'd make sure the friend had an idea of post partum depression however. This was never addressed and I was completely in shock when I felt as I did after my child was born. Macedonia does not have a strong network for supporting the emotional and psychological needs of new mothers," remarked another expat in Skopje, Macedonia.
"1. Make sure to research the healthcare system in Macedonia and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Consider taking a childbirth education class to learn more about the birthing process and what to expect. 3. Ask other expats in the area for advice and support. 4. Make sure to have a plan for after the baby is born, such as childcare and transportation. 5. Familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding maternity leave and other benefits. 6. Take time to explore the country and get to know the culture and customs. 7. Have a support system in place to help you adjust to life with a newborn. 8. Take advantage of the many resources available to expats in Macedonia," said a member in Macedonia.
