Start researching available baby services in Montry as soon as possible. Have a look into the nearest baby clinics and find out what kind of bonuses and/or discounts you can get from registering with certain facilities. It's a good idea to hire a childbirth doula and/or midwife to help you through labor and delivery, who can even provide postpartum care. Having a support network of other expat parents can be incredibly helpful, so look for meet-ups and other activities that allow you to connect with other people in the same boat. Most importantly, don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it! Don't feel bad about seeking out support or asking questions.
