5 Myths About Elterngeld That Simply Aren't True | German Maternity Benefits & Parental Allowance

Need Help?! Get 20€ off your support from Baby in Berlin with the code: LIG20 🐣
I loved having a baby in Germany. Although I didn’t get the opportunity to experience it in Canada, I am thankful for the opportunity I have had to give birth in Germany and raise my child here. For me, I found the healthcare, the bonuses, the support all incredible!
The only thing that could have been easier was the paperwork. Surprise, surprise!
I wish I had had a maternity concierge to run to for support when I was giving birth… but at least now YOU DO! Meet Elodie from Baby in Berlin.

    Why not just go home and claim it from your own country instead of scrounging and abusing our system here in Germany!
