I hope you have been enjoying hearing from mothers around the world! Today we hear from a woman who was born and raised in Germany. Julika is a wife, mom of three children, and has been a midwife for the past 14 years. At the time of this interview, she is on maternity leave with her seven month old baby.    Julika is sharing all about prenatal and postnatal maternal care that is given in Germany. What’s most amazing to me is the on-going postpartum support that women receive in their own homes. I would love to hear what you find to be the most fascinating after listening to this interview!   In this episode we discuss: -Julika’s experience in school as a child -Prenatal and postnatal standard of care in Germany -Details of German midwife support -Maternity leave options for mothers and fathers   Connect with me on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.
