What is it really like to have a baby in Albania as an American?
We sat down with Annie in Shkodër to talk about her experience with pregnancy, prenatal care, giving birth, and navigating the Albanian healthcare system along the way.
She was candid and open about the entire experience, which makes her story especially valuable for anyone wondering what pregnancy and childbirth in Albania can actually look like.
If you’re considering moving to Albania — especially if healthcare is one of the big questions on your list — Annie’s experience offers a perspective you won’t hear very often.
A quick note: This is one family’s experience, not a blueprint. We think Annie’s story is worth sharing, but everyone’s healthcare needs and circumstances are different. Please do your own research and due diligence before making decisions for yourself or your family.
