Anyone who wants or is already expecting a child is faced with a whole host of new questions.
Researchers and experts from the field provide answers to many of them at the themed evening: “Healthy Pregnant – Strong Together”.
From the changes in pregnancy over time to support networks and self-care in the challenging time shortly after the birth, guests can expect extensive knowledge – and a buffet especially for mothers. A baby can quickly throw expectant parents off track, if only because they want to do everything perfectly and correctly.
It doesn’t help that some well-intentioned guides are more marketing than information, depicting perfectly tidy homes and well-coiffed, made-up and smiling moms and dads.
Midwives and experienced families know all too well that this is anything but realistic – but expectations, promises and reality are often far apart.
What are the challenges and how can they be overcome? Information event about birth Answers and strategies are available at the “Health! Knowledge for all by Coburg University of Applied Sciences”.
On Tuesday, June 25, everything will revolve around the topic “Healthy Pregnancy – Strong Together” from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Alte Kühlhalle, Schlachthofstraße 1, Coburg.
Couples and single people in good hope as well as relatives, students, midwives, gynaecologists and employees of local advice centers are expected to attend.
The three presentations are not only aimed at the health of mothers – but also at their second halves, companions and supporters.
Dads, partners and companions are explicitly welcome!
Admission is free, but prior registration is requested. Healthy program

Kuhn is doing her doctorate at the Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences and Health at Coburg University of Applied Sciences and has spoken about modern parenthood in our Zeitgeist podcast “Do you know what!
Practical knowledge straight from the Friedrich Streib Campus! - Henrike Beck from the Midwives Coordination Office knows best that having children should not be a one-woman show.
She talks about support networks and the importance of social support during this critical phase.
She will also provide an overview of the network structures in the city of Coburg.
The evening will be hosted by Dr. Markus Neufeld, Head of the Transfer & Entrepreneurship Department of the CREAPOLIS + design project.
At the end of the event, guests will have the opportunity to chat with the speakers over a buffet.
With the topic series “Health! Knowledge for everyone by Coburg University of Applied Sciences”, Coburg University of Applied Sciences is continuing the theme evenings from the TAO Health Year 2023.
The themed evenings are supported by the CREAPOLIS + design project as part of the federal-state initiative Innovative University and by the Technology Alliance Upper Franconia (TAO).
TAO is an association of the four universities in Upper Franconia, i.e. the universities of Coburg and Hof and the universities of Bamberg and Bayreuth, which aims to strengthen Upper Franconia as a science location and promote transfer.
The event continues on 12 November with “AI in personalized medicine” with Prof. Dr. Stefan Simm.
