In Germany, every pregnant woman is entitled to a midwife through pregnancy into delivery, including at home check-ins before and after birth.

Korean postpartum care center: food, spa treatments, prenatal, on the government tab. In part to raise birth rates:
They are unnecessarily complicating their child’s life in the future, re: Citizenship...............
Nice!
Now they can stop their insipid whining, here!
Buh bye!
Built with slave labor.
Opus?
If they’re American Citizen Parents the kids are US citizens. However, the problem is the stupid cost of healthcare our poorly administered system has.
That’s the problem if people go abroad here. Its not competitive enough.
No. Because their parents are American.
Immigrants know that they MUST have their babies here in USA in order for them to acquire birthright citizenship.
How accurate is this survey? Is it any more than clickbait? I ask because nobody who has recently had kids in my neighborhood has done this.
We have a vast population in America with foreign ties, all stories of this type, including people leaving upon retirement and those giving up citizenship, need to include whether these are immigrant American types or old fashioned Americans, it makes a difference.
WGAF?
Bon Voyagie!!! Don’t forget to write when you learn how!!
“They are unnecessarily complicating their child’s life in the future, re: Citizenship...............”
They’re thinking about themselves.
I wonder if there are complications or if the baby needs high-tech care they’ll turn right around and come back.
Yep. I know someone who was born in a British hospital while his father was serving at an airbase in England.
I no longer remember the details exactly, but when he has to submit a birth certificate to a govt office, he needs the British record of birth, the USAF record of birth abroad and the birth certificate issued by the U.S. embassy.
I used to know another USAF couple who had one baby in Japan, another in England. Because of the hassles, they decided to have their third child in the USA.
I used to know a man whose father moved to Brazil to found a business. He stayed there more than seven years, without returning to the U.S., and the feds cancelled his citizenship. When he retired and wanted to go home, he had to move to Canada and apply for immigration just like any other foreigner.
Uh…OK.
Among all U.S. expats surveyed, 54% had already had a child while living abroad. Millennials lead the charge with nearly 3 in 5 reporting overseas births, but Gen Z is right behind—28% have already done it, and 63% are thinking about it.
Article writen in such a way is to make you miss the details.
“Among all U.S. expats surveyed,” Very small sample size, Gen Zs and Millennials living abroad. The key point is that do not feel the need to comeback to the US to give birth. Also Expats by defintion are high income people. They can afford to go anywhere.
It is my understanding that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was born in the USA and got zinged for ~$400,000 in taxes by the IRS.
They kind of float the fact they are talking about Americans already living overseas staying there to have babies, I think, then make it sound like a lot of women are booking flights just to overseas to have their babies.
Unfortunately, US leads the developed world in maternal death. 🫤 Some of it has to do with pre-existing health issues like weight-related heart disease, diabetes — but the other part is general birthing culture has become very rushed and depersonalized…as well as postpartum and parental leave still being inflexible.
If the kids are dual citizens they can forget ever getting a security clearance.
