Young adult, Lina Greger, serves as a midwife at 23 years of age.
In the heart of Gadebusch, a new midwife practice is set to open its doors in September. Lina Greger, a freelance rural midwife, will be at the helm of this new venture.
Lina Greger's practice aims to serve as a central hub for care, offering comprehensive midwifery services that extend beyond just the pregnancy and delivery. From fertility counseling to post-birth support, Greger is dedicated to supporting women throughout their journey into motherhood.
Greger finds her work as a midwife to be fulfilling and not feel like work. She finds it an honor to be a part of intimate moments in families' lives, and finds it particularly rewarding to witness the growth of a family and the development of a child.
Due to the extensive nature of her catchment area, which includes the administrative districts of Lützow-Lübstorf, Gadebusch, Rehna, Wittenburg, and Zarrentin, Greger spends a significant portion of her day in her car. However, she values the long-term relationships she builds with her clients, often staying in touch for years after the birth.
In an effort to foster an exchange among the mothers, Greger plans to provide weaning advice and cooking sessions at her practice. She hopes these sessions will not only provide practical advice but also create a supportive community for new mothers.
Greger advises pregnant women to contact a midwife as soon as they become pregnant due to limited availability. Given the decline in births in Nordwestmecklenburg, with 871 births in 2021 compared to 945 in 2023 and 1067 the year before, it's essential for expectant mothers to secure a midwife as early as possible.
Despite the decline in births, Greger has not yet noticed a significant decrease in her rural area. Her practice will also offer preparation courses for mothers to ensure they are well-prepared for childbirth and parenthood.
Unfortunately, Greger's practice is fully booked until March. However, interested individuals are encouraged to contact her office to secure an appointment for later in the year.
For those seeking more information about Lina Greger's midwife practice or wanting to get in touch, local health authorities or the midwife’s office would be the best point of contact.
