I've talked to a very successful friend who is also highly engaged in various things. She has three kids, runs a successful business, and is a leading voice in the German political landscape. We talked about all sorts of things, eventually about kids and family life, too.

Christmas may be behind us, but its values are not.
Care, compassion, and responsibility matter far beyond a few days in December.
Let’s make sure they shape our decisions throughout the year.
Take care. Your Larissa.Health-Team✨

In Germany, maternal mortality statistics miss many pregnancy-related deaths due to incomplete death certificate documentation and inconsistent data practices. Experts call for standardized national reporting to improve accuracy and inform health policy.

From my perspective, contractions seem much more appropriate. FWIW, the German language prefers to emphasize the painful part — we call them “Wehen”, which stems from the word for pain.
2/2 That said, I was really surprised it's called labour – as if pregnancy itself wasn’t already hard work on the body. It almost implies that this is the only kind of work women are expected to be capable of.

Germany’s new midwifery assistance contract changes billing and documentation rules. Midwives fear more bureaucracy and less time for mothers, risking continuity of care. #Midwifery #MaternalHealth #Healthcare
