I was particularly dedicated to antenatal care and home births, because I believe that every person giving birth has the right to freely decide where and how they want to give birth to their child, provided that there are no health reasons that require special medical care. Midwifery care continued with home visits during the <a href=\"https:\/\/dimitra.life\/en\/service\/postpartum-breastfeeding\/\">postnatal period<\/a>, which are subsidized by the German state (up to 36 visits for each family and for as long as needed!).<\/p><p>I participated in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.quag.de\/quag\/summary.htm\">Quality Circles of Midwives in Germany<\/a>, a body ensuring the quality of services of independent midwives, with regular checks, creating networks of communication, exchange of knowledge and continuous education with fellow midwives, but also with doctors and maternity hospitals. There was constant communication with the public health service of Hamburg and thus the inclusion of home births in the digital registration of birth data for the more immediate issuance of the birth certificate was successfully completed. Through the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg.de\/kinderleicht-zum-kindergeld\/14977702\/hausgeburten\/\">Child benefit is easy<\/a>\" all families in Hamburg now have access to this service.<\/p><p>My resources, in addition to my studies and professional experience, are a series of international guidelines, seminars and training courses within the framework of which I work.<\/p><p>I am grateful for the knowledge and experiences I gained in Germany, because it is a country where midwives practice the full spectrum of their profession with great support from the National Health System.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-a375343 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a375343\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8866cf wd-width-100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_title\" data-id=\"c8866cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper wd-set-mb reset-last-child wd-title-color-primary wd-title-style-default wd-title-size-large text-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"liner-continer\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"woodmart-title-container title wd-fontsize-xxl\">PROJECTS<\/h4> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-15b1ea4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"15b1ea4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d37e0e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7d37e0e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0401228 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"0401228\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7fe1e850 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static trx_addons_parallax_layers_inited trx_addons_parallax_blocks_inited\" data-id=\"7fe1e850\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-50c9b124 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static trx_addons_parallax_layers_inited trx_addons_parallax_blocks_inited\" data-id=\"50c9b124\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cb0f741 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor trx_addons_parallax_layers_inited trx_addons_parallax_blocks_inited\" data-id=\"1cb0f741\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>In 2020 I started the &quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/7hO9M5PQXyzW7KIfSYB1CF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Logos Maion<\/a>&quot;, the first Greek midwifery podcast, which has gained its own loyal audience.<\/p><p>I translated the children&#039;s book &quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/dimitra.life\/en\/product\/lin-book\/\">Lin and the secret of the cycle Book<\/a>\u201d (Oposito Editions) from German and I hope to contribute to a new generation of well-informed women who know and love their bodies and their boundaries.
