Pregnant in a Foreign Country? Read This First
Source: 9gag
Whether becoming a mom abroad was part of your plan or life’s surprise, you probably imagined a smooth journey — routine checkups, supportive care, and comforting traditions
But here’s the truth: Becoming a mother in a foreign country is rarely effortless. It’s beautiful, yes — but also disorienting, lonely, and filled with moments you never see on Instagram.
Why I Wrote Maternity Abroad
When I pictured having a baby abroad, I thought I’d be ready. I wasn’t.
I stumbled through confusing healthcare systems, faced unexpected bills, and discovered maternity leave policies the hard way. Friends tried to help, but their stories didn’t match mine.
That gap — between the life we imagine and the one we live — is what led me to write Maternity Abroad: Becoming a Mother in a Foreign Land.
📖 This Book Isn’t a Checklist. It’s a Lifeline.
It’s a real companion for moms navigating one of life’s most vulnerable transitions — far from home. Built on real stories, it explores:
How local systems reshape your idea of “care”
Cultural expectations around birth and recovery
The experience of parenting without your usual support network
How to find your strength when everything feels foreign

What’s Next?
If Maternity Abroad is about beginnings, my next book, Parenting Unpacked, explores what comes after: the identity shifts, the quiet grief, and the deep resilience of raising kids across cultures.
Because motherhood abroad isn’t just about surviving — it’s about becoming.
