[quote=Anonymous] In France, women have to register at hospitals or maternitys to give birth. Most register months and months in advance, like as soon as they find out they are pregnant b/c the good ones fill up fast. If you are not registered you can always go to a public hospital. Don't reccommend this. When I lived in Paris I did not know any French women who gave birth at the American Hospital. It was all expats. But this may be the best choice for you. Just remember, you are still in France and you will have to advocate for yourself. the doctors will probably speak some English, but the nurse and staff almost surely won't. Don't be afraid of confronting the nurses, or sage-femmes, with respect of of course. The French enjoy a good confrontation. You will have to be VERY clear about breast feeding and the like. Stand your ground.[/quote]
