Midwife in Germany: vocabulary you need after the baby arrives

Motherhood in Germany is a huge opportunity to learn, including German vocabulary. You will need some new words in order to be able to communicate with your Midwife in Germany after your baby arrives.

Every midwife in Germany is in close contact with the mother and with the baby. Communication is crucial for them to do their job. However, the quality of the communication is even more important for you and your baby. You should understand your midwife, answer to her questions and be able to ask and inform her about whatever needs you and your baby might have.

In this post I listed some helpful vocabulary to communicate with your midwife. Specially after your baby arrives:
