About us
"If women lose the right to say where and how they birth their children, then they will have lost something that’s as dear to life as breathing."
Ami McKay, The Birth House
Care with heart and expertise
Geburtshaus Ingolstadt is a place to turn to and a place to meet — for pregnant women, women hoping to conceive, women in the weeks after birth, new families, young families who have just moved to the area, and anyone looking for company and knowledgeable advice during this remarkable time…
At the Birth Centre you will find professional advice — from experienced midwives and other specialists such as naturopaths and therapists. During pregnancy and well beyond it, based on your own questions and needs.
We are with you throughout the remarkable time of pregnancy, we help you decide on the right place for your birth, and we stay with you in the weeks that follow.
If you decide to have your baby at the Birth Centre, you will have two experienced midwives throughout.
We also care for you in the weeks after birth — wherever you gave birth.
After the birth you will find plenty on offer here. Besides our regular home visits we offer postnatal recovery classes, a breastfeeding group and milk café, nappy-free and baby massage workshops, one-to-one breastfeeding support and much more…
We work in several languages
We offer care and advice in English, Italian and French.

Why a Birth Centre?
Your chance at a pregnancy and birth on your own terms
Natural birth in a safe setting
Birth is a natural process that needs calm, safety and trust. At our Birth Centre you can give birth in homely surroundings — without harsh lights, constant interruptions or hospital bustle or unnecessary medical interventions.
A family-like atmosphere and familiar surroundings
Unlike in a hospital, here you can move around freely, listen to your own music and have the people you trust beside you. We create a place where you can relax and focus on the birth.
Safety and professional care
Our experienced midwives are with you through the birth, skilled and calm. If a transfer to hospital becomes necessary, we make sure the handover is safe and smooth — without unnecessary haste or uncertainty.
Continuity from pregnancy to the weeks after birth
You already know the midwives who will be with you at the birth — you met them during your pregnancy, and they stay at your side in the weeks that follow. Continuous care, from people you trust.
In good hands, throughout
If a transfer to hospital becomes necessary, we are well prepared for it. We work closely with Klinikum Ingolstadt to ensure a safe transition.
We are with you wherever you choose to give birth.
