What to do during pregnancy and birth?

You enjoy the status of protected employee and can no longer be dismissed.

Do you have to stop working early due to health risks? This is called work removal . You are entitled to benefits.

Not mandatory, but reimbursed by CM and therefore often requested in this phase of pregnancy, is the NIP test :

• harmless prenatal test;
• detects deviations;
• from 12 weeks.

At the start of your maternity leave, please inform CM of your expected date of delivery:

• have the correct form filled in. The forms for employees and self-employed persons can be found here ;
• or provide a doctor's certificate.

You will receive an information sheet from CM that you must complete and return.

CM requests your salary information from your employer or unemployment service.

You will receive benefits during your maternity leave (also known as maternity leave).

You can count on maternity care for help with caring for your baby or help with household tasks and this from the start of your pregnancy. You can request it via:

• a recognized family care service
• the Care Line

To request a refund, please send the invoice to CM via:

• the My CM app ;
• a CM mailbox .

Register the birth with the civil registry of your municipality.

Register your child with CM via this online registration form . Also add a photo or a scan of the birth certificate to the form.

You will receive yellow stickers and an isi+ card in your child's name.

CM will also contact you for the birth gift to which you are entitled.

Other CM benefits for young children and their parents include:

• baby massage sessions;
• baby equipment rental service;

Here you will find information about maternity leave to apply for your partner.

In the event of hospitalisation or death, your partner can in some cases take converted maternity leave .

If you want to breastfeed, please inform your employer 2 months before returning to work that you will be taking breastfeeding breaks.

During the breastfeeding period, provide your employer with the following every month:

• a certificate from an infant consultation center;
• or a medical certificate proving that you are breastfeeding.

Provide CM with an application form for each month in which you take a few hours of breastfeeding break . Your employer must complete the form. He can also provide the data to CM electronically. In that case, you only need to fill in your part on the form.
