From midwife to maternity nurse: your new opportunity in private households<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Every begin\u00adning holds a special kind of magic\u2014and midwi\u00adves shape it with exper\u00adtise and heart. Yet ever\u00ady\u00adday clini\u00adcal work beco\u00admes a burden for many: high respon\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adlity, low pay, and little predic\u00adta\u00adbi\u00adlity. More and more midwi\u00adves are disco\u00adve\u00adring a fulfil\u00adling alter\u00adna\u00adtive: self-deter\u00admi\u00adned work as a private midwife or mate\u00adr\u00adnity nurse in private households.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Every begin\u00adning holds a special kind of magic \u2013 and you can help shape it<\/strong>
\nThe birth of a child is a magi\u00adcal moment\u2014and as a midwife, you accom\u00adpany this magic with your know\u00adledge and intui\u00adtion. Yet many midwi\u00adves are incre\u00adasingly facing diffi\u00adcult working condi\u00adti\u00adons in hospi\u00adtals. High levels of respon\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adlity, low pay, and a lack of predic\u00adta\u00adbi\u00adlity are often part of ever\u00ady\u00adday life. It is time for a profes\u00adsio\u00adnal alter\u00adna\u00adtive that truly reflects your expe\u00adri\u00adence, commit\u00adment, and perso\u00adna\u00adlity: become a private midwife\u2014as a mate\u00adr\u00adnity nurse in a private household.<\/p>\n

Why many midwi\u00adves are leaving hospi\u00adtal work behind<\/strong>
\nThe acade\u00admi\u00adsa\u00adtion of midwi\u00adfery trai\u00adning in 2021 marked an important step toward quality and profes\u00adsio\u00adnal reco\u00adgni\u00adtion. Howe\u00adver, the day-to-day reality for many free\u00adlance hospi\u00adtal-based midwi\u00adves remains sobering:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Often on call around the clock, without perma\u00adnent employment
\n\u2022 Remu\u00adne\u00adra\u00adtion only through health insu\u00adrance funds\u2014with no addi\u00adtio\u00adnal fees from the hospital
\n\u2022 From 1 Novem\u00adber 2025: new rest\u00adric\u00adtions under the Midwi\u00adfery Care Agreement<\/p>\n

These struc\u00adtu\u00adral chan\u00adges further compli\u00adcate your alre\u00adady deman\u00adding work. Many midwi\u00adves ask them\u00adsel\u00adves: *\u201cIs this it\u2014or is there some\u00adthing better out there?\u201d*<\/p>\n

In this role, you work as a mate\u00adr\u00adnity nurse or private midwife in post\u00adna\u00adtal care\u2014individualised, self-deter\u00admi\u00adned, and meaningful.<\/p>\n
