It is important to do some research on the healthcare system in the area you are living in as you may need to consider your birth plan in advance. Make sure you speak to your expat health insurance provider to make sure that your cover is adequate for potential maternity costs. Make sure to research the local doctor, hospital and any specialised maternity services that may be available to you. Lastly, establish a good network of expat mums so that you can share your experiences and receive advice.
