Step-by-step procedure
Section actions
- 1Organize follow-up with a midwife, doctor or gynaecologist and choose maternity. In case of worrying symptoms, follow the medical regulation rather than the administrative schedule.
- 2Check that the pregnancy report has been sent to Sickness Insurance and Caf before the official deadline, usually the end of the 14th week. Control reception in personal spaces.
- 3Check reimbursement, maternity or paternity leave and allowances according to status and dates. No universal percentage of wages should be promised: conditions, ceiling and employer supplement vary.
- 4Before giving birth, prepare the civil status: spelling of names, possible recognition, foreign parent's documents and maternity instructions. Identify who will actually submit the return.
- 5A birth in France is declared in principle at the town hall of the place of birth in the 5 days, not counting the day of delivery, with adaptations for weekends and holidays. Check that the maternity service has done well.
- 6After the act, attach the child to Sickness Insurance — possibly to both parents — and inform Caf, the mutual, the employer and taxes within the applicable time limits. Keep the acts.
- 7Use the departmental PMI for free preventive support of pregnancy, parents and young children, especially without a pediatrician. The IMP does not replace emergencies or specialists.
Common mistakes
Section actions
- Suppose that doctor, maternity, CPAM and Caf have automatically exchanged all data
- Count on a fixed bonus or 100 % of salary without checking conditions
- Let expire the 5 days thinking that the hospital necessarily declared the birth
- Use different names in folders
- Delaying care due to lack of Vitale Card

Important remark
Medical monitoring, reimbursement, leave and benefits depend on health, open rights, professional status, family and resources. Medical decisions are individual.
