"1. Make sure to research the healthcare system in Bulgaria and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Familiarize yourself with the maternity and childcare services available in Bulgaria, such as the maternity leave and childcare benefits. 3. Consider joining a local expat group or online forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Bulgaria and can provide advice and support. 4. Make sure to take advantage of the free or low-cost prenatal classes offered in Bulgaria. 5. Consider hiring a doula or birth assistant to help you during the labor and delivery process. 6.
