What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Nordrhein-Westfalen?

"Make sure to research maternity healthcare options available in the area to ensure you have access to the best care possible for you and your baby, and read up on any relevant medical and legal requirements. Schedule regular prenatal appointments with your doctor or midwife and discuss any concerns you may have. Familiarise yourself with the hospital delivery process, and attend classes or read literature to understand the labor process and what to expect once the baby is born. Consider enrolling in German language courses to best interact with health professionals and take advantage of local resources. Finally, remember to take the time to enjoy this special time and don't be afraid to ask friends and family for assistance," explained one expat living in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
