What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Bonn?

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the German healthcare system. Prenatal care and childbirth are covered by statutory health insurance in Germany, so make sure you have the necessary coverage. Secondly, find a good gynecologist or 'Frauenarzt' who speaks your language, as they will be your primary healthcare provider throughout your pregnancy. Thirdly, consider hiring a midwife or 'Hebamme'. In Germany, midwives play a crucial role in prenatal care, childbirth, and postnatal care. They can provide home visits and are generally covered by health insurance. Fourthly, learn about the maternity leave and parental benefits in Germany. The country has generous policies, including up to three years of parental leave and 'Elterngeld', a state-funded allowance for new parents. Fifthly, start looking for a pediatrician or 'Kinderarzt' early on. Pediatricians can be quite busy in Germany and finding one who speaks your language might take some time. Sixthly, if you're considering giving birth in a hospital, visit a few and find out what facilities and services they offer. Some hospitals in Bonn offer birthing centers with a more homely environment. Lastly, connect with other expat parents in Bonn. They can provide valuable advice, share their experiences, and might even recommend doctors or midwives. There are several expat groups and online forums where you can find support," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bonn, Germany.
