Provide doctor's certificate to employer

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

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

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

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

Communicate delivery date to CM

Inform CM of your expected date of delivery at the start of your maternity leave:

  • have this form completed;
  • or provide a doctor's certificate.

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

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

You receive a benefit during your maternity leave (also called maternity leave).

Request maternity care

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

  • a recognized family care service
  • the Care Line

Indicate the birth

Register the birth at the civil registry of your municipality.

Back to work and breastfeeding

Do you want to breastfeed? Then inform your employer 2 months before you return to work that you will be taking breastfeeding breaks.

Provide your employer every month during the breastfeeding period:

  • a certificate from an infant health clinic;
  • or a medical certificate showing 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 transmit the data electronically to CM. In that case, you only need to complete your part on the form.
