Pregnancy Diary mainly records every bit of what I encountered in Paris, France from 2015 to 2016, from pregnancy preparation to baby giving birth. I hope it can help friends in need. Special reminder: Everyone's situation is different, and the doctors and midwives they meet are also different. I cannot be generalized and not represent the voices of the vast majority of pregnant women in France. I can only try to objectively record what happened to me. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any unclear relevant knowledge, please refer to the doctor and scientific advice. I wish you a good pregnancy! For prospective mothers and fathers, waiting for the child to be born is wonderful. France's sound medical insurance system and social welfare system protect the entire pregnancy period quite thoughtfully, and prospective parents must fully understand these preferential policies and measures.

Pregnancy De Grossesse

Before enjoying the "fertility benefits", we must first declare pregnancy to the National Social Health Insurance Administration (CPAM-Caisse d’assurance maladie, which is what we often call Secu) and the Social Welfare Bureau (CAF). This declaration process must be completed 14 weeks before pregnancy.

Generally speaking, expectant mothers will undergo the first B-ultrasound examination around about 12 weeks of pregnancy to determine the number of pregnancy and embryos. After the examination, the fixed family doctor or gynecologist will give a triple form – Vous Attendez un enfant (pictured below), which is the pregnancy declaration form. After filling in as required, it must be sent to the National Social Health Insurance Bureau and the Social Welfare Bureau (i.e. to Caisse d’assurance maladie and CAF respectively).

Two blue forms should be sent to the Social Welfare Bureau (CAF), so that various childcare allowances can be obtained after the child is born; a red form should be sent to the Caisse d’assurance maladie, so that the prenatal examination and related medical expenses at each stage can also be subsidized 100%.

Tips: It is recommended that you copy or scan a copy for backup before sending, and send it in registered mail. CAF now supports online declaration, just scan and upload it, which is great!

Health insurance and medical expenses

Once the pregnancy declaration is successful, the pregnant woman's prenatal examination (from the fourth month of pregnancy) and eight festivals prenatal preparation courses and exercise courses, postpartum health checkups, taxi to the hospital for delivery, cost during delivery, newborn health checkups, and children's health checkups, etc. are completely free.

It is worth noting that: The calculation of 100% expense reimbursement time is usually from the four months before the due date to 12 days after the due date.

Social welfare

Within two months of the birth of the baby (child adoption is also included), the Social Welfare Bureau (CAF) will issue maternity allowance to each family « La prestation d’accueil du jeune enfant ». This allowance mainly includes three aspects.

.Birth Reward (La prime à la naissance)

According to the overall family income, each child will receive a maximum allowance of 923.08 euros. Although it is linked to family income, according to data, about 85% of new mothers can get the money. For a dual-working family, if the annual income of the family does not exceed 45,578 euros, or if the annual income of the family does not exceed 35,872 euros, you can get a reward of 923.08 euros. For specific family income conditions, please refer to the figure below. 2. Basic subsidy (La prime de base)

From the birth of the baby until the baby is 3 years old, the government will subsidize 184.62 euros per month according to family income. For specific family income conditions, please refer to the figure below.

3. Child care fee subsidy (libre choix de mode de garde)

The French government also hopes to reduce child care fee subsidy. At present, for families whose children are under 6 years old, if the child’s parents hire an aunt to take care of their homes, or the child’s parents send their children to the aunt’s homes outside to take care of their children, the government’s subsidies range from 87 euros to 460 euros according to the situation of each family.The government hopes to reduce the expenditure on child care expenses subsidies by 20%. To this end, the government will redefine the subsidy standards to reduce child care expenses subsidies for high-income families.

declaration of pregnancy is a very important step, and expectant parents must not be careless. Let’s end this day, see you next time! (End)
