Midwives are specialists in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. They care for pregnant women during pregnancy, support them in childbirth and provide aftercare for both the mother and the newborn. Midwives provide emotional support, provide valuable information about childbirth and support during breastfeeding. Their goal is to ensure a safe and positive birth experience.
In Germany, the salary for midwives varies according to the type of employment and experience:
In Germany, those interested can either complete a bachelor's degree in midwifery science or a midwifery training at a state-recognised midwifery school, which usually lasts three years.
As a midwife, you have many career opportunities. You can work in hospitals, maternity hospitals or in private practice. With the right training, you also have the opportunity to work in senior positions or focus on special areas such as pre- and postnatal care. In addition, continuing education is a good way to expand your expertise and improve your career opportunities.
