Midwives Honoring a Special Day with Birthday Celebrations

The Hebammenhaus-Dresden, located at Louisenstraße 75, 01099 Dresden, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this September. Since moving into its current location, a former engineering office, on February 1, 2005, the midwifery house has been providing comprehensive care to expectant mothers, newborns, and families. The midwifery house offers a wide range of services, from childbirth preparation to postpartum care, and courses for families in the first year of the child's life. They place a high value on individual, natural care, working closely with the Diakonissen hospital for empathetic care in complex situations. Since its opening, the midwifery house has assisted in the birth of over 1,640 children, with approximately 100 births occurring annually. Around 12 percent of these births are referred to the hospital. Midwives often accompany families up to the first birthday of the child, initially almost daily, and later at larger intervals. One of the midwives, Hanna Wessel, joined the midwifery house six years ago and has not regretted her decision. Hanna developed an interest in midwifery at a young age due to her family's experiences with midwives. Co-founder Annett Lorenz had a professional background in textile technology before transitioning to midwifery. The person who co-founded the Hebammenstätte Dresden in 2005 together with Annett Lorenz is not explicitly named in the provided search results. High liability insurance contributions have been a challenge for many birth houses, but subsidies from health insurance companies have helped secure the work. The midwifery house's website is hebammenhaus-dresden.de. To celebrate this milestone, the midwifery house is hosting an event on September 21st. The event, open to everyone, will feature music, a choir, face painting, and refreshments. The event starts at 3 PM. Whether you're a family who has been assisted by the midwifery house, a friend, relative, or a curious individual, this celebration is not to be missed. Come and join us in celebrating 20 years of natural birth and care at Hebammenstätte Dresden.
