When labor begins, it usually means for the expectant mother: "Next stop, hospital!" After all, almost all children are born there nowadays. However, sometimes, as in the good old days, a midwife is called for a home birth. The present book tells the funny, beautiful, incredible, bittersweet, and always touching stories experienced by a home birth midwife. Here, Margarete shares from the treasure trove of her midwifery bag: how she assists a birth in the smallest bathroom in Vienna, why women often contact her after a previous cesarean section, how she supports an expectant mother giving birth via Skype, or why an Austrian pop band almost sabotages the delivery. Midwife Margarete is out and about with heart and strong hands in Vienna and the surrounding area when it’s time to say, "Call the midwife, darling!".
