Hebamme Hanieh

Hebamme Hanieh is a midwifery service based in Osnabrück, Germany, supporting women and families before, during and after childbirth. Its approach recognizes that welcoming a new baby is a unique experience for every family, and aims to provide guidance and tailored support for a positive birth and recovery. Antenatal and postnatal care takes place in clients’ homes within approximately 30 kilometres of Osnabrück.

Services include pregnancy and postnatal care, birth preparation, and support around childbirth. Birth preparation helps expectant parents address questions and concerns and get ready for labour and early parenthood. Topics may include breathing and relaxation, understanding the body’s signals, breastfeeding preparation, birthing positions and pain relief techniques. The service also describes birth options such as water birth, hypnosis, massage and supportive positions during contractions.

Postnatal home visits focus on the mother’s recovery and the newborn’s wellbeing. Support can include help with breastfeeding difficulties and monitoring the healing of wounds, with consultation with a doctor when needed.
