Birth checklistTasks to be completed before and after the birth.
Tasks before the birth
These tasks should be completed in good time before the mother gives birth. The tasks are listed in the order corresponding to the typical course of a pregnancy.
This should take place between the 18th and 22nd weeks of the pregnancy. During the scan, the longitudinal and transverse diameter of the baby’s head, the abdominal circumference and the length of the femur are examined, and the volume of amniotic fluid is checked. This is not a prerequisite for receiving the childcare allowance. The scan is completely painless and usually only takes a few minutes.
