What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Macedonia?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Macedonia about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"I'd recommend my same doctors and hospital. It couldn't have been a more perfect experience. I'd make sure the friend had an idea of post partum depression however. This was never addressed and I was completely in shock when I felt as I did after my child was born. Macedonia does not have a strong network for supporting the emotional and psychological needs of new mothers," explained one expat living in Skopje, Macedonia.
