Amt für Kinder, Jugendliche und Familie - Schwangerschaftsberatung (Office for children, young people and families - Pregnancy counselling service)
Pregnant? Young or old, you are likely to have a lot of questions. And the answers are not always straightforward. Depending on your personal circumstances, pregnancy may be a critical period in your life. Problems may arise as a result of your professional or financial situation, the attitude of your partner, your age, or worries about the responsibility of caring for a child.
From general information to specific advice for individuals or in an emergency, the City of Münster pregnancy counselling service is here to help.
