Why MidwifeGo
The German system is good. But hard to understand.
Mutterpass, antenatal check-ups, finding a midwife, registering at the hospital, the U-Heft: pregnancy brings many new words and appointments. Often quickly, often in German, often without an explanation.
Many technical words
Nobody understands what is written in the Mutterpass straight away – not even with good German.
Little time at the appointment
At the practice there is often only a moment for your questions. Most of them come to you at home.
Not always a midwife
Not every woman finds a midwife in time to care for her at home.
MidwifeGo explains what matters right now: calmly, clearly and in your language.

Sample view
Count contractions without doing sums
One tap when the contraction begins, one tap when it is over. MidwifeGo measures duration and interval and shows you the pattern – ready to read out when you call the hospital.
- Duration and interval worked out for you
- The pattern of the last hour
- The most important warning signs always visible
The tracker counts and shows. It does not make a diagnosis.
