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

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

"Go for it! "Normal" German prenatal care is like extra-special American care. Similar birth philosophies, only the German model is a bit more deluxe. Oh, and ask about prenatal vitamins. They didn't used to use them at all, and only recently have they started to," remarked another expat who made the move to Erlangen, Germany.

"1. Make sure to research the local healthcare system and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Take advantage of the free prenatal classes offered by the local hospitals and health centers. 3. Join a local expat group or forum to connect with other expat parents and get advice and support. 4. Familiarize yourself with the German healthcare system and the paperwork required for registering a birth. 5. Make sure to register your baby with the local authorities as soon as possible. 6. Take advantage of the free childcare and kindergarten options available in Erlangen. 7. Consider enrolling in a German language course to help you better communicate with local healthcare providers and other parents," explained one expat living in Erlangen, Germany.
