Maternity Nurses

The maternity nurse cares for mother and child(ren), but above all for the mother's relief in the phase after birth, within the postpartum period and, if necessary, beyond. She "mothers" the mother, so to speak, e.g. by:

• Offers to talk, to listen, to give advice if needed around the questions of the mothers in the postpartum period
• Breathing and relaxation exercises, relaxation massages
• Shopping
• Walks with the baby
• wholesome cooking
• temporary care for siblings

The maternity nurse does not perform medical consultations and actions. Their activities are clearly distinguished from the care provided by midwives, but they complement it in a meaningful way. The respective needs are coordinated by the maternity nurse individually with the mother. Depending on the needs, they usually support with 1 to 2 appointments per week.
