Reducing Birth Anxiety – How I Support You as a Midwife in Rostock

Many pregnant women experience a mix of excitement and uncertainty before birth. Maybe you know this feeling too: the birth is approaching, and with it come questions, worries, or even specific fears. As a midwife here in Rostock, I support women every day who have similar concerns – and I want to show you how I can help you reduce your birth anxiety step by step.

Why Birth Anxiety is Normal

Birth anxiety often arises from uncertainty:How will the pain be? How will the birth unfold? What happens in the hospital?Especially with a first birth, experience is often lacking, and there is no clear internal roadmap.


I want to emphasize:

Birth anxiety is not a weakness. It is a natural part of the journey.


In my conversations, I repeatedly see how helpful it is to speak openly about these worries and sort them out together.

How I Support You in Rostock


1. Individual Conversations That Give You Confidence

In our personal meetings, I take plenty of time for you and your questions. We talk about what’s on your mind – openly, without pressure, and at your own pace.


Often, women notice that their anxiety decreases simply because the unknown becomes more tangible and clear.


2. Local Childbirth Preparation Courses in Rostock

My childbirth preparation courses here in Rostock are an important part of reducing anxiety.There, you will learn:

  • What happens in your body during birth

  • How to make informed, confident decisions

  • Breathing and relaxation techniques

  • How your partner can actively support you


Many women tell me at the end of the course:

"Now I feel ready."


3. Insight into Rostock’s Hospitals

A big part of birth anxiety comes from uncertainty about how and where the birth will take place.That’s why I calmly talk with you about the different hospitals in Rostock, their specific features, and procedures.


Together, we explore which environment suits you best:


  • What does the delivery room look like?

  • What pain relief options are available?

  • How are your wishes handled?


If you like, we can also prepare a small “birth plan” together that you can use in the hospital.

Practical Methods to Strengthen You

In addition to conversations and courses, I use other helpful techniques:

  • Breathing exercises to keep you steady in emotionally challenging moments

  • Body work and relaxation to visibly reduce stress

  • Visualizations that support a positive birth experience

  • Gentle education to give you confidence instead of pressure


I support you in a way that makes you feel prepared, cared for, and empowered for the birth.

You Don’t Have to Go Through This Alone

I repeatedly see women going into birth with clear expectations, less anxiety, and a strong sense of their body – simply because we prepared together.You, too, can feel confident:


Giving birth is a natural process.

And you are stronger than you might think.


If you would like my support – through personal conversations or my childbirth preparation courses in Rostock – please feel free to contact me.


I look forward to supporting you on your journey. 🤍
