"It is important to research the healthcare system in Myanmar before having a baby. Make sure to find a reliable doctor or midwife who is experienced in delivering babies in Myanmar. It is also important to be aware of the cultural norms and expectations surrounding childbirth in Myanmar. Additionally, it is important to be prepared for the cost of having a baby in Myanmar, as medical costs can be high.
