New law for Kindergeld

[JellyBean]

Hello Expats

Me and my fiance are living in Vienna for 6 months now, we are EU citizens and we both have our own Gewerbe (Firma) so we are self employed.
Now I found out that I am 2 months pregnant. I went to a doctor, and I got a mutter kind pass.
Unfortunately we don't speak good German, so I have a lot of questions.

What is a good hospital for giving birth? I have sva insurance and private insurance, so I would like a good birth clinic that provides also some additional tests that I need during my pregnancy.

What are the steps I need to take next? When I should stop working and apply for Wochengeld/ Kinderbetreungsgeld? And where to (which institution) apply for them?

Yesterday I saw in a newspaper the new law for kids born in Austria from 1.3.2017, this is the website: http://www.bmfj.gv.at/ but they do not provide many info's in English, so I am lost...

Can someone please help me somehow. I need all the information I can get.

Thanks In advance.

Hello Expats

We used FetoMed and Privatklinik Döbling. Also looked around Goldenes Kreuz but preferred Döbling.

What are the steps I need to take next? When I should stop working and apply for Wochengeld/ Kinderbetreungsgeld? And where to (which institution) apply for them?

Would call the number here: http://www.wkoratgeber.at/rg/kinderbetreuungsgeldsv/

Would recommend you sign up to VBC (Vienna Babies Club) - it costs EUR 35, but the amount of information and recommendations you get as well as a social life for your baby and you is excellent.
