The hospital gives you all the paperwork that you need. (the also give a social security number - it was clear to me if this was a temporary one or the real deal)mycp2005 wrote:Thanks for the info.
When we go to Maistraatti, would they require some form or some hospital letter for them to issue a social security number?
After coming to Finland, we went to Maistraatti and gave a copy of our passports and relevant documents. However for new born babies in Finland, how is it done?

Actually, the child "exists" in the system within hours of being born. And the "number" given is off a pool of numbers the hospitals are dealt for by the Väestörekisterikeskus (PRC, the office behind the Maistraattis regarding population information).
So if mommy and daddy and baby move before filling in the paperwork to file a name for the newborn (they'll send a reminder after 3 months) the Maistraatti will send a note to the address stating who has moved... and nimetön lapsi - so rest assured your kid is "in the system" before you need to change the first diaper.

You should call the hospital to see if they give tours in english. Where I gave birth they only did the english tours 4 times a year. I went to a finnish guided tour, but I brought a finnish friend with me just in case there was something I didn't understand. It turned out that there were a couple more women there who didn't speak fluent finnish, so the person guiding us was nice enough to answer questions in both languages. You might not have that same luck, so bring a finnish friend just in case.
Btw, you can be out of the hospital in 3 days if everything goes smoothly. I had a c-section and was out in 5 days (though I actually wanted to stay longer
)

Mycp, where are you going to have your baby?
The Helsinki hospitals might still do it in English, my neuvola nurse said Jorvi did, so I dont know if they had only cancelled them recently.
I believe its normal to be in for about 3 days. Of course if you are both healthy you could proberly choose to leave earlier but its proberly good to get their help and rest as much possible while you have the chance
I dont know about the Helsinki hospitals but Jorvi has some family rooms, of course they cant ensure they have one available when you go, but it means daddy can sleep over too

I have my next nurse checkup at 22 weeks i.e on 17th oct. so have listed out these queries to ask the nurse. I am living at Tampere, so would also have to ask which is nearest hospital and so on.
Its just the odd feeling of being in a hospital for a longer time
becoz if one stays in hospital, the entire family has to do up-down during the week.
but I guess you both are right Scubagirl and Sara that probably to get rest as much as one can get

The hospital visit is usually nearer the end of the pregnancy. I went at 32 weeks.
Where did you go for your ultrasound scans? That is most likely the hospital youre going to have the baby at.
The first visit to Neuvola I was given a choice of 3 places because the hospital in Vantaa dont deal with births. This was because Ive had all my scans at the same place.

Well, mycp2005, I had all my 3 boys in Tampere University Hospital (TAYS) & can honestly say it was excellent in every way (except the food is carp as you would expect )
Most of the staff spoke English, especially the doctors, & actually, they made sure that at least one other member of staff spoke to me in English every day. Write on your " birth requests form", (which your neuvola midwife or whatever they are called should give you towards the end of pregnancy) that you speak English, it does help! (That´s the form where you can ask for epidural etc) It wouldn´t be too nice to be in labour & about to pop, with no one speaking anything you can understand!!!!!
When my 2nd son was jaundiced at birth, the nurses got loads of info off the internet for me to read in English, as well as (yet more!) breastfeeding advice! When I returned for my 3rd birth, there was a cry of" Ah, it´s the English lady again" I can give you loads of English language pregnancy & baby magazines of you want......
Anyway, please feel free to pm me about anything if I can help!
