went to work in delivery rooms and careful to five women at once because we conjure sure the wellbeing of mother and child comes next month. when this is not the key it's a sign. of the end of the. day so. oh oh oh this prenatal class in berlin is for parents expecting their second child. here catalina pereira imitates contractions. but i mean ok three contractions. of

the last pretty fall and i was it for the women you know reading about brings back memories. quality out of my hair and i think you could hear that the contractions are very different they always are now one contraction is the same as another i interview. i had a stock of the midwife knows that such classes are more important than ever in germany because many children come into the world in difficult conditions in many places there's a shortage of midwives. yet it's freelance midwives like katarina who care for women and their babies before and after childbirth. and midwives employed in hospitals work in a high stress environment. that's why catarina has changed her courses in recent years. not only does she help expectant parents prepare for the birth of their child both physically and mentally but also i tell him about was it changed in the

hospital in the car that one midwife must often care for three or four women at once and i'm trying to strengthen the women give them a good sense of physical awareness what's wideness so they'll get through the birth ok. pushkin can last but not so much for the whole of the board in my home and their example is a very good if we want to create an contractions optimizes the child's position opinion then i tell a woman to lie like this only. catarina help to deliver children for seventeen years. old but recently she decided to only do three and ante natal care and to give classes just like us it wasn't an easy decision to make. she knows how hard it is for parents to find a midwife we have right now. rejections were always the same we have no

capacity no place is free this summer that we started looking quite early. to be ambushed we looked for two or three months when my first child was born eight years ago it wasn't such a problem but now it really is. tough to remove it and hope. in a motel is my pain to one last time he was so active let's see if you react to my hands that way again. the man i can still hit on the side. samantha mckenna is expecting her third child and katherina is caring for her during her pregnancy. she'll also be present at the birth but only to provide emotional support as a friend by him i think i like to only return to assisting with deliveries if i had a really good idea of how i could work in a team outside the hospital. and not be on constant cool. but i took this. babies come into the world at any time of the day or night so these midwives are on

call twenty four seven but having to be available all the time we tapped on her family life wonderful good trait just as it should be. freelance midwives pay high liability insurance premiums that's also another thing preventing cut to rina from returning to delivering babies eleven would be the best hurdle i would face if i went back to delivering babies next year it would be where would i get the six or seven thousand euros to pay for liability insurance must ha ha ha because i need that before i could return and i think that's also the biggest problem facing the young midwives he's just finished training. off the. freelance midwives who assisted births to face skyrocketing costs for liability insurance. they can now expect to pay over eight thousand euros a year and catarina says even if they are partly reimbursed midwives aren't paid enough for their work. when mobile. i think it makes me really angry

because we simply aren't paying for the responsibility that we have that's what i think is so awful that it's also a matter of appreciation of hobbit i've actually samantha thinks her midwife is irreplaceable. you just closer to you and wife how should i put it that you're closer to her than to your gynecologist but you can talk to her about things you wouldn't with a gynecologist because she doesn't have the time. caterina says that midwives take the time even if they're not always paid for it. that's the situation country is no longer willing to accept so she's organized to protest but i don't i'm one of the many midwives who aren't willing to accept the status quo any more he founded a group called midwife rebels one thing the midwife rebels criticised hospitals

often close the delivery room is due to a lack of personnel and turn away women in labor. that sign is something i'm not frustrating enough then when a woman in labor has finally found a hospital to take me may have to live with the fact that her midwife is looking after three or four other women of the same time. so she won't receive adequate care that can lead to lots of medical interventions a high rate of says they are in sections and women who want traumatised by the birth when no longer willing to accept that is what is needed and i wish you lots of children lots of strength and don't put up with anything. i'd like to protested to alexanderplatz or two or three big squares in berlin with the sound good music and just read off the things with

a life stream on facebook for. the things are postcards from the midwife rebels latest protest campaign people across germany send postcards to germany's health minister complaining about the lack of midwives clothes delivery rooms and overworked birth attendants my exclusive video was. her yet to reno and her freelance colleagues are also suffering from the crisis in the hospitals. it's just that. if women don't receive the. ok and hospitals have freed us midwives almost always have to make up for this at home. and this is not that didn't used to be the case i'm not bashing the hospitals the midwives they do what they can make it. to listen to them but often it's just not enough just so this is a sunni considering how important this is awfully not talking about removing it was just we talking about the best of

a child outside her and this is. the midwife rebels demands are clear they want a political solution to fix germany's catastrophic birthing system. called meet me we don't need high tech we need well rested midwives we like there was and enough of them in the places babies are born and that's it one of the lessons of the. only person in the field you call someone in the. samantha mccann off is about to give birth and she's lucky to have a well rested midwife at her side oh oh oh oh to have a remake can't do much more than help her get through the contractions. one of the hospital midwives bears all of the medical responsibility. here. a short while later and marley is born both mother and child are well.

eight days later catarina visit samantha mcconnell and her baby each day she checks on them both and answers any questions the new mother might have zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero two thousand seven hundred twenty she can see. today katherina has brought an apprentice along. the wants to become a midwife. from all this she wants to get an impression of what the jobs like and here how and marley's birds. and. lot of info has come to my absolutely wanted kids arena's to be that i knew someone i trusted was that we could do it that i didn't need to be afraid because that had problems with the birth of my first child and i had no reason to be afraid and she was there to really help me relax sequence of which one doublings was as different as fun for. all of you know and marley's birth also made it clear to cut to reno what she's been missing.

what my want to do best again because i love births as of misrata saw and i think it was a real gift for me to be present at one again after one and a half years it was like it just rounded everything offers up. but first she has to find out how to better reconcile her own family life with her chosen profession. until then she'll be dedicating much of her time to the fight for better obstetrical care in germany. as most of the triggers that we have must ensure that women in hospitals get one to one care they have a right to a home i think midwives also have a right to work solely on a one to one basis if we midwives join forces with the colleagues in the hospitals who do incredible work and the freelance midwives and i think we can do it. they've never had a better standing in society than we do now and now is the right time to say stop

this can't go on. we want this these are our demands and we simply won't work under any other conditions and i think that's possible because. all of that doesn't frighten so you're a sawed off ski she sees it as a challenge. because it's so difficult right now and they are so many problems you have to consciously choose to do it. we won't get far if we always take another path when a problem arises some really looking forward to being active in taking. some point brings tears to my eyes come here say or yes we know people like labor. say your sadowski is desire to become a midwife gives caterina pereira hope that her fight for better of step trickle care in germany will succeed. he would.
