We asked expat moms who gave birth in India about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"Ensure that you arrange for your baby to have all necessary vaccinations and check-ups, and keep an updated health record. Additionally, assembling a pediatric medical team is a great way to guarantee that you and your baby receive the best medical care and advice. Find out the guidelines and rules of the local hospital and doctor that you will be using, and get informed on the available birth practices, necessary documents, and other other procedures. When it comes to maternity and newborn care, it is also important to do your own research to find the best resources, products and services available. Finally, don't forget to take time for yourself and your newborn to bond and nurture your family, and give yourself space to adjust to the new culture," explained one expat living in India.
