Midwife Concept in Germany (Stuttgart Area)

What they do & how to find a midwife in Stuttgart Area.

Are you pregnant or planning to get pregnant in Stuttgart, Germany?
Then it is very important to look for a midwife early in you pregnancy as it is not so easy to find one.

But what does a midwife in Germany do?

A midwife in Germany has different kinds of services. Usually the German health insurance covers the costs. 

Midwife services - 4 areas:

• check ups leading up to birth
• pre- and post natal courses (Geburtsvorbereitung / Rückbildung)
• check ups post-partum (comes to your house to check on you and your baby)
• delivery of the baby - in every hospital there is a midwife present during your delivery - you do NOT have to look for this service. Exception: In the case of a home birth, a planned birth in a birthing center (Gebusrtahaus) or a clinic with Beleghebammen, you must register in early pregnancy and conclude a treatment contract with the midwife.

When you look for a midwife it is mostly for the postnatal care. She looks after you and your baby during the first weeks at home. You can ask your questions and she will support you as much as possible.
