- The new midwife support contract provides a 12% wage increase but adds bureaucracy and economic setbacks for Stuttgart midwives.
- Freelance midwives face up to 40% income reductions, prompting the entire team at Rottweil Helios Clinic to resign by March 2026.
- Long postpartum visits receive better pay, whereas short visits and quick consultations via messages are often uncompensated, complicating daily work.
- Economic risks have led many midwives to cancel preparatory and postnatal courses, worsening the existing shortage of midwives.
We are only getting 12 percent more pay, we cannot be satisfied with that.— Hannah Hien, a Stuttgart midwife, on the insufficient wage increase in the new midwifery assistance contract.
