History

Ulrike Käfer was living abroad while pregnant with daughter Finia. Once she moved back to Germany, she was too late with everything and desperate for help, starting with finding the right midwife and place to give birth to choosing a suitable and safe car seat and stroller. After talking to other woman about the same experience the idea of maternita was born, almost together with her daughter. The idea is simple: maternita’s services save time and alleviate stress for pregnant women, most often in the midst of their careers, as well as their families. In the long run, this means that women can concentrate on their careers and other obligations in their daily life while growing and nurturing their families. Ever since the maternita team has been guiding and supporting their clients on the way to a life with a newborn.
