Tips for a happy partnership with a child

Family planning raises many questions. Expectant parents have a particularly great need for information during pregnancy. In North Rhine-Westphalia, there is an extensive network of support centers for pregnant women, expectant fathers, and young families. You probably have a lot of questions too; perhaps you’re feeling uncertain, or your excitement is mixed with fears and worries. The services offered by accredited pregnancy counseling centers provide expectant parents with comprehensive information and support on all topics—from planning a pregnancy and financial assistance for expectant mothers and fathers to prenatal diagnostics or dealing with abnormal test results. Below, you’ll find out which counseling centers you can contact with your questions. However, a positive pregnancy test doesn’t always bring joy. Even if you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy or are still very young, you’ll find information on the Familienportal.NRW website about professional counseling centers in your area.
