<\/p>\nYou are pregnant? Congratulations! From now on there are some important points to consider. From the mother-child passport and maternity protection to deciding on the right maternity leave model and financial issues. You can find all important information about pregnancy here.<\/p>\n
As soon as you suspect a pregnancy, you should see your gynecologist as soon as possible. If it is indeed confirmed that you are pregnant, you will be issued a mother-child passport. All important dates and appointments for medical examinations during pregnancy and the first four years of the child's life are recorded on it. The first examination must be completed by the end of the 16. week of pregnancy take place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the baby to develop properly, it spends nine months in the mother's womb . As the first trimester or. The first 12 weeks of pregnancy are referred to as the third trimester. During these weeks, the first accumulations of cells develop into organs. The little heart already starts beating at 120 to 160 beats per minute, while the baby can be up to five centimeters tall.<\/p>\n
In the second trimester, the vital organs are already fully formed and the baby grows to ca. 19 centimeters. In addition, the sexual organs continue to develop and the baby begins to move and kick.<\/p>\n
In the course of the third trimester, the brain matures. As a result, the bones of the skull become harder so that nothing can happen to the brain.<\/p>\n
The baby looks for the most comfortable position, which is usually the usual embryonic position, since it does not have as much room in the mother's belly. Just before delivery, the baby is usually between 48cm and 54cm tall and weighs between 2800g and 4000g.<\/p>\n

As soon as the expectant mother has informed the employer that she is expecting a child, the legal provisions for maternity leave apply. You can find more information here.<\/p>\n
Those who are expecting offspring know that this involves a lot of dealings with the authorities. It is therefore easier if the father can take leave from work. But how does it behave with the time off for the father?<\/p>\n
In most collective agreements, it is common for the father to be granted time off with continued payment due to the birth of his child. There is no uniform regulation depending on the respective collective agreement.<\/p>\n
According to §8 para. 3 AngG, an employee can take a leave of absence with continued payment due to childbirth. In order for the exemption to be justified, it can be stated, for example, that the spouse or cohabitant will be accompanied to the hospital for childbirth. If the collective agreement stipulated the period of time off, it only means that this is a minimum amount of days off. If a longer exemption is needed, it must be granted.<\/p>\n
However, even if a child is already living in the same household, it is possible for the father to apply for a leave of absence from care if the mother has to go to hospital to give birth. So he can take care of the already existing child. You are entitled to up to the maximum of your regular weekly working hours. This means that if the mother works 40 hours a week, she is entitled to 40 hours of childcare leave per working year.<\/p>\n
During the time that the mother and the newborn child are in the hospital, there is no entitlement to caregiver leave. Only if an existing child lives in the same household can a childcare leave be requested.<\/p>\n
If the mother is at home with the newborn and is unable to care for the baby on her own, the father of the child can apply for childcare leave. However, this is only possible if there is a common household and if there is a medical certificate that the mother cannot take care of the newborn alone. Again, the entitlement is up to the maximum of the regular weekly working hours.<\/p>\n
If the child was born by cesarean section and the mother is still in need of care after the birth, the father can also apply for a leave of absence. This also only applies if there is a joint household.<\/p>\n
Even after maternity leave and maternity protection, both father and mother are entitled to care leave. Both must live in the same household with the child and be employed. If a child becomes ill, a care leave can be applied for if the child has not yet reached the age of ten and must be admitted as an inpatient. Here again the regular weekly working hours are taken as a basis.<\/p>\n
Of course, children don't just get sick once. Additional caregiver leave may be granted if the child has not yet reached the age of twelve and becomes ill again. Caregiver leave can also be requested if the parent does not live with the child in the same household, so that the child is well cared for.<\/p>\n
The maternity leave directly follows the maternity leave, moreover, the father can also claim it. If you would like to know more, you can continue reading here.<\/p>\n
It pays to be financially stable during pregnancy. On the one hand the income is reduced by the pregnancy and at the same time costs arise, which can well justify the need for financing.<\/p>\n
Of course, it is up to the parents' discretion which offers are used. This list and the corresponding totals show what costs you will face during this stage of your life:<\/p>\n
| Costs<\/td>\n | Favorable<\/td>\n | Average<\/td>\n | High value \/ Expensive<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Birth preparation course<\/td>\n | 100 Euro<\/td>\n | 120 euros<\/td>\n | 150 Euro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Pregnancy gymnastics<\/td>\n | 7 Euro\/h<\/td>\n | 10 Euro\/h<\/td>\n | 15 euros\/h<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Extra ultrasound<\/td>\n | 50 Euro<\/td>\n | 100 Euro<\/td>\n | 200 Euro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Private hospital<\/td>\n | 2.000 euros<\/td>\n | 3.000 Euro<\/td>\n | 4.500 euros<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Of course, health insurance pays for the most important benefits of pregnancy. But if it should be more than three ultrasound examinations, must be paid also itself. So a pregnancy can quickly 2.500 euros and more costs and thus the nursery is not yet furnished.<\/p>\n Tax benefits for families<\/h2>\nChildren cost money. The family allowance is often only a drop in the bucket and is usually not enough. But families can benefit from various tax advantages. The deductions that reduce income tax are just as important as the child allowance or the care and education costs that families can claim.<\/p>\n Families with handicapped children can also partially deduct the costs from taxes. We would like to show you which tax advantages a family has here.<\/p>\n The deduction for single parents<\/h3>\nThe deduction for single parents (AEAB) is available if the person concerned has received family allowance for more than six months in a calendar year. It does not matter whether the family allowance was received for one or more children. However, single parents only receive the deduction if they have not lived in a marriage, registered partnership or cohabitation for more than half of the calendar year.<\/p>\n The amount of the deduction for single parents is regulated as follows:
