"1. Make sure to research the medical care available in Moscow and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Consider taking a childbirth preparation class to help you prepare for the birth. 3. Familiarize yourself with the maternity and childcare services available in Moscow, such as hospitals, clinics, and childcare centers. 4.
