Weeks go by between appointments, and questions pop up right in the middle: a symptom you’re not sure is normal, a feeding that isn’t going well, a fear that grows at night. A midwife listens to your specific situation—your story and where you’re at right now—and tells you what to expect, what to keep an eye on, and what to do moving forward. With Maternify, you can talk to her via video call, no matter where you are, or have her visit you at home within 24 to 48 hours in major cities.
Whether via video call or at your home, the midwife answers your questions about pregnancy, the postpartum period, and breastfeeding; discusses your concerns with you; explains what to expect at each stage; and lets you know when you should seek medical evaluation. At Maternify, you’ll typically receive a response within 24 to 48 hours.
Book your consultationThat’s the difference from searching online: you don’t get a general answer—you get one tailored to your specific situation, your week of pregnancy, or your postpartum period. During pregnancy, your midwife supports you when you experience discomforts and aren’t sure if they’re normal, when you have questions about tests and their results, when you’re writing your birth plan, when deciding what to pack for the hospital, and when recognizing the onset of labor so you know when to go in.
If you're concerned about a specific breastfeeding issue—such as pain, cracked nipples, or a latch that isn't quite working—you can also schedule a home visit through the " Breastfeeding consultation " program, during which a midwife will assess your entire breastfeeding session in your home.
When it comes to breastfeeding—whether it’s exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding, or formula feeding—covering topics such as latch, feedings, preventing cracked nipples and mastitis, pumping, delayed breastfeeding, and how to create your own milk bank at home for when you return to work. Also covered are wound or scar healing, the pelvic floor, bleeding, pain, sleep, and resuming physical activity—as well as determining whether that hard-to-describe fatigue is to be expected or whether it’s best to consult a healthcare provider.
Umbilical cord care, bathing, sleep during the first few weeks, gas and colic, how much the baby eats and how much they should eat—whether breastfed, bottle-fed, or a combination of both—the rhythms that seem to have no rhythm, and what signs you should know how to recognize without having to be on constant alert. For gas and colic, we also have specialized pediatric physical therapists who complement the midwife’s work.
An online consultation can answer questions and provide guidance, but it is not a substitute for regular medical care or emergency care. If you experience any of these symptoms, go to your primary care provider or the emergency room.
During pregnancy: bleeding, fluid leakage, regular contractions before week 37, severe headache with blurred vision or sudden swelling, or noticing that the baby is moving less than usual.
After childbirth: heavy bleeding or bleeding with large clots, fever, severe pain, difficulty breathing, or a painful, swollen leg.
While breastfeeding: a red, warm, and painful area on your breast may be the early sign of mastitis. Your midwife can help you manage it and prevent it from getting worse, but if you have a high fever, feel generally unwell, or don’t see any improvement within 24 hours, you need to see a doctor.
With a baby: a fever of 38 °C or higher if the baby is younger than three months, difficulty breathing, repeated refusal to feed, very few wet diapers, excessive sleepiness, or skin that is becoming increasingly yellow.

Do you have any more questions? We have the answers.
She is a nurse specialist. Just as a doctor studies medicine and then completes a residency, a midwife earns a bachelor’s degree in nursing and then specializes through a residency program (EIR) in obstetric-gynecological nursing. She is an expert and independent professional who provides care throughout a woman’s life—from pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period to breastfeeding and sexual and reproductive health—offering clinical rigor, emotional support, and reassurance to families.
It depends on what you need. Most questions about pregnancy, the postpartum period, and breastfeeding can be answered by talking and reviewing your situation via video call. When it’s best to see something in person—such as a feeding—the midwife will let you know, and if you’re in one of our cities, she’ll suggest a home visit. If a medical exam is needed, she’ll advise you on where to go.
Yes, usually within 24 to 48 hours. We offer in-home services in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza, Málaga, Murcia, Alicante, Bilbao, Mallorca, Salamanca, and many other cities. If your city isn’t listed, click “Check Your City” and we’ll confirm availability before you book; if we can’t come to you, we’ll start with a video call.
The online consultation lasts one hour. For in-home visits, we don't keep track of time: the midwife stays as long as you need, and the visit usually lasts between an hour and a half and two hours.
Our customer service hours are Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Appointments and consultations can be scheduled for any day of the week and at any time, depending on the availability of our midwives.
Yes, and in many cases it's a good idea. Much of what comes up during the postpartum period and the first few months is best handled by two people.
The midwife supports you with any type of feeding—breastfeeding, mixed feeding, or formula feeding—as well as with pumping, delayed feeding, and setting up your own milk bank at home. If there’s a feeding issue that needs to be assessed in person—such as pain, cracked nipples, or a latch that isn’t quite working—we offer the “ Breastfeeding consultation ” (Breastfeeding Assessment at Home), during which the midwife evaluates a full feeding session in your home.
Whenever possible. If you schedule multiple appointments, we'll try to have the same professional see you so you don't have to start from scratch each time.
