WHAT IS A MUTTERPFLEGERIN?
A Mutterpflegerin is a trained professional who supports mothers and families during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The focus is on the wellbeing and recovery of the mother while also helping the family adjust to life with a newborn.
​
Support is typically provided during the first weeks after birth, often throughout the fourth trimester (up to 10 weeks postpartum), with the possibility of extending services depending on the family's needs and medical circumstances.
​​​
Postpartum care through Mütterpflege may be partially or fully covered by public and private health insurance under Haushaltshilfe.
