We offer counselling on topics such as prenatal diagnostics, maternal health, financial support. We also provide counselling if you are dealing with an unfulfilled wish to have children.
Health During Pregnancy
How do I know whether I am pregnant? Which changes normally occur during pregnancy, and when should I go to a gynaecological practice? Get a first overview of health topics during pregnancy – from midwives and heartburn to antenatal check-ups.
Prenatal Diagnostics
What methods are available, which tests should I consider and how do I deal with an unclear result? Here you will find information and guidance on this complex topic – from first-trimester screening and amniocentesis to risks, benefits and cost coverage.
Financial Support
Life is expensive, and even more so with children. Parents spend several hundred euros per child on average – every month! Here is a first overview of financial support for families and during pregnancy.
LGBTIQ* – Rainbow Families Welcome
How can we plan a multi-parent family? How can we build a family as a queer couple? Whether you are a rainbow family with children or still in the planning stage – lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer people (LGBTIQ*). Everyone is welcome.
Involuntary Childlessness
Around ten percent of all couples wait in vain for a child for a long time. Medical support is possible, but brings new uncertainties. Will it work? How long can our relationship withstand this? For others, the question is how to have and raise a child as a single person. Our pregnancy counselling service can help you navigate all of these topics.
Custody
Who decides where a child lives, which school they attend, whether they are baptised or vaccinated? This is determined by custody rights. Parents often share custody of their children. But how do they obtain it, and what happens in the case of underage parents or a risk to the child’s welfare? Here is an overview of the most important answers.
After the Birth
During a first pregnancy, attention often only extends as far as the birth itself. But anyone who already has children knows: Afterwards is usually when it really starts. Some things can be thought through or prepared in advance. Tips for the time after the birth, with information on the postnatal period, birth certificates, depression and available support.
