"1. Research and choose a hospital or birthing center that suits your needs and preferences. Switzerland has excellent healthcare facilities, and Vevey is no exception. 2.

These classes can help you prepare for childbirth and parenthood. They are also a great way to meet other expectant parents in Vevey. 5. Learn the local language.
