Soft Summer Launch. Grow into Motherhood with Birth & Mother.
Pregnancy and birth
in Germany,in a language you understand
Welcome
Grow into motherhoodwith Birth & Mother
Birth & Mother believes that every international family in Germany deserves access to clear, evidence-based information in English, from pregnancy and birth through the gentle weeks beyond.
Having a baby in Germany can mean searching across countless websites, translating unfamiliar terms, and trying to piece together guidance that should be straightforward to access.
Birth & Mother is designed to be an accessible place where trusted information is gathered in one place, easy to understand, and available whenever you need it most.
If you need more than information, you'll also find compassionate doula support, both in person and online, alongside a welcoming community of English-speaking women navigating many of the same questions, changes, and experiences.
Lost in translation?
At an appointment or in the birth room, the German words come quickly, one after another. Our pocket booklets carry a plain-English glossary for each stage, alongside the bilingual phrases that keep your voice in the room, so you always know the word you need.

So however you arrive, pregnant or already in the weeks with your baby, there is a way in that fits. Search for a word or a worry, let me guide you to what you need, or simply read through the guides at your own pace.

For international women and mothersin Germany
Having a baby in Germany can feel overwhelming when you're navigating an unfamiliar maternity system, communicating in a language you're still learning, and living far from your usual support network. Birth & Mother was created for international families, offering clear, evidence-based information and English-speaking, bilingual support so you can feel informed, supported, and less alone through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
