The process of becoming a mother is a delicate one that is filled with both excitement and worry. Giving birth can be stressful on its own, but giving birth in a foreign country can be doubly worrying. So just how nerve-racking is it to find a good and affordable maternity hospital in Beijing?
Usually you will find most hospitals provide their own maternity packages. The package usually adds up to a total of 13 visits including all of the necessary laboratory tests, consultations, and physical examinations.
