Hello to everyone or anyone who calls by here.

I don't know if it will be of any use but I felt it might be good to start a blog about having a baby in Berlin when you're a so-called ex-pat (or neu-Berliner, your choice).

As Berlin is the baby-boomiest city in Germany, and I had my first one and a half years ago, I thought it might be helpful to new mothers, fathers and also parents-to-be to have a page where you can find useful tips, links and general support to deal with the overwhelming amount of things you have to get to grips with before and after the baby arrives. As if welcoming a brand new person into your life wasn't enough!

Well, we might as well begin at the beginning, so here goes!
