The midwife consultation by Ingeborg Stadelmann

Organised according to the stages of pregnancy
The chapters in this book are organised thematically according to how women experience motherhood from pregnancy to the end of breastfeeding. This means that you can read the book page by page in the coming weeks of pregnancy, prepare for the birth of your baby and check back week by week in the postpartum period and during breastfeeding to see what is to come. Separate sections for the father-to-be also help him to experience pregnancy, birth and the puerperium in a conscious and informed way.

This guide will accompany you competently and reliably from the beginning of your pregnancy right through to the first year of your child's life
Ingeborg Stadelmann, midwife and naturopathy expert, accompanies you sensitively, expertly and with a realistic view through the time of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and breastfeeding. She encourages you in your self-determination and personal responsibility and gently takes you by the hand in difficult moments. In most cases, it is "rescue powers" from nature that help and calm the situation, whether aroma blends, homeopathic globules, Bach flowers or teas. You will recognise for yourself which type of support or therapy you feel drawn to.

The bestseller: expanded in 2018, updated several times since then
The Midwife's Consultation was completely revised in 2018 and contains 160 pages of new content. You will now also find interesting facts about hormones and their influence on the body and psyche. The information on screening tests, prenatal diagnostics and caesarean sections has been brought up to date and is more detailed than before. Thanks to numerous scientific studies from the last ten years, many statements from independent midwifery practice are no longer "just" based on experience, but are evidence-based, i.e. scientifically proven.

There were also further recommendations for naturopathic self-treatment, especially Bach flower therapy and valuable tips for a healthy diet.

In 2024, the chapters on the consumption of fennel in children up to the age of four and the midwife-led delivery room were updated. The inclusion of borage seed oil and yoni steam bath applications are completely new.
