Midwifery care
As a midwife, I advise, look after and accompany women/parents and families comprehensively and holistically during the entire pregnancy and after childbirth in the childbed until the end of breast/chestfeeding.
My range of services as a midwife is diverse. It includes support and advice on all important topics in pregnancy. Targeted help for health complaints or risks pregnancy is provided in close consultation with the treating physician.
Procedure of my support
The number and organization of joint meetings or contacts is based on the needs of each individual women /parent and the course of the pregnancy. If desired, I prepare individually for childbirth.
The first 6-8 weeks after birth are referred to as a childbed. During this period, a large part of the physical changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth are reversed. During this time, you recover from the enormous emotional and physical efforts of childbirth. This is also the time when you start breast/chestfeeding and get to know the diverse needs of their baby.
In order to create a successful start into parenting and family life, peace, patience and a lot of support are required. During this time, it is the responsibility of the midwife to support the physical and mental processes of the mother/parent with the baby and the whole family in a competent and sensitive manner.
The predominantly explorable activity in the home environment and personal contact creates trust on both sides and is an important condition for relaxed cooperation.
Accessibility, contact & costs
Midwifery assistance is regulated by law, the costs are borne by the health insurance funds.
In the event that particularly intensive support is necessary and desired, the scope of care may be extended specifically. This work between family and midwives will then be financed for corresponding projects.
