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

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Lyon about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"Having a baby in Lyon can be an exciting and enriching experience! Make sure you are well prepared for the pregnancy and birthing process by researching local maternity services and childbirth regulations. Ask other pregnant expats in your community or at a local antenatal class for advice and support. If you are expecting a baby whilst living abroad, you may need to provide supplementary documents in order to register the birth with the French authorities. Additionally, look into registering for a French health care system to ensure your baby is covered. Finally, find a supportive group of new parents in your local area or online who can provide advice and companionship as you embark on your journey as a parent in France," remarked another expat who made the move to Lyon, France, France.
