Your guiding hand when
having a baby in Germany
Welcome to Baby in Berlin, the first maternity concierge for international families in Germany!
Regardless of whether you just found out about your pregnancy or you just became a parent in Germany, my services are here to guide you through the maze of information and bureaucracy that comes with having a baby in Germany.
Just like you, I was an expat mother a few years ago, who didn’t know what to do and when. I would have loved to be able to speak to someone and get to ask all the questions I had in mind, without having to trail through pages of outdated and vague information online.
From the free podcast to the budget-friendly online courses and all the way to individual services, I am here to guide and support all international families in Germany throughout their pregnancy, the birth and the early family years.
I hope you’ll find the level of support you need, whatever your situation.
All the best,
Elodie
INDIVIDUAL SERVICES
There is a lot to think about when you’re pregnant, even more so when you’re a foreign country (and maybe don’t speak the language as well as you would like). From explaining your options of where to give birth to finding a midwife, as well as assisting in filling in your Elterngeld or Kindergeld application, I have developed a range of services to take this stress off your mind.
ONLINES COURSES
What do I need to take care of when pregnant in Germany? When do I have to get it done? If your mind is racing towards the pile of paperwork that needs to be done instead of focusing on enjoying the experience, then you’re in the right place. My online courses deliver all the information expecting and new parents need to know and understand when having a baby in Germany.
DOULA
My post-partum doula services are aimed at caring for the mother and her family in the weeks following birth. I am an all-rounder companion, specifically trained to be able to lend an ear to your story, give you massages and offer practical support such as meals, errands or babycare. These services can be subsidized by your health insurance.
