Visit a Medical Facility

If pregnancy is confirmed or suspected, visit a medical facility. Ask about the next checkup and estimated schedule.

City Office Procedures

After confirmation, ask your city office about pregnancy notification and the maternal and child health handbook. This handbook is important for checkups and child health.

Costs and Support

Pregnancy and childbirth involve costs, but support systems may exist. Ask the city office, hospital, or insurance office what applies to your situation.

Language Support

Medical words can be difficult. Write questions before appointments and ask whether interpretation support is available.

After Birth

Birth notification, health insurance, child allowance, residence procedures, and embassy or nationality-related procedures may be needed.
