Be prepared - make sure you have all the necessary paperwork in order, including proper documentation and everything you need to register the birth. Find out what medical facilities are available in the area and make sure you research options for pre- and post-natal care. It's also important to investigate potential childcare options, including local medical and childcare professionals, daycare centers, and international schools. Make sure you have a support network of friends and family nearby for the prenatal, birth, and post-natal stages of your pregnancy. If you require any specific medical treatments, ensure you know where to access them and for what cost. Finally, it can be very beneficial to reach out to other expat parents in your local community for advice, support, and connection.
