Crises & Conflicts

Pregnancy is not always a happy experience, and feelings often go on a rollercoaster. Physical changes, relationship problems or a complicated pregnancy are just some of the reasons that can lead to crises. Sometimes a pregnancy comes into your life very unexpectedly. It calls previous life plans into question and turns them upside down from one day to the next. Pregnant women and fathers-to-be are often faced with the question: Can I manage? In these challenging situations, it is important to know that you are not alone. Whether you are struggling with financial worries, interpersonal conflicts or emotional highs and lows - there are special advice centers for pregnant women, mothers and fathers in crisis situations that you can always count on. Don't be afraid to accept this help. You are entitled to free advice. Find out here who you can turn to and where you can find help with crises and conflicts.
