What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Kiev?

"1. Make sure to research the healthcare system in Kiev and find a reputable doctor or midwife to provide prenatal care and delivery. 2. Consider taking a childbirth preparation class to help you prepare for the birth. 3. Familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding birth registration and citizenship. 4. Consider joining an expat group or forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Kiev and can provide advice and support. 5. Make sure to have a plan in place for postpartum care, including a support system of family and friends who can help you during the first few weeks after the baby is born. 6. Have a list of emergency contacts ready in case of any medical issues or complications. 7. Take the time to explore the city and find the best places to shop for baby supplies and other necessities. 8.
