How this directory can help you through pregnancy
From planning a pregnancy to life with a newborn, the right organization can answer a question, listen without judgment, or point you to local care. Each country page tells you what an organization does, whether it offers direct help, and how to reach it.
-
Before you conceive
Fertility awareness and cycle education, preconception health information, and support for conditions such as endometriosis that may affect conceiving, without IVF.
-
During pregnancy
Government pregnancy information, free counselling about medicines and other exposures, help with problems such as severe pregnancy sickness and pre-eclampsia, and midwives’ associations.
-
Around the birth
Information on maternity rights and respectful care, the choices midwifery offers, and where to look for financial and social support.
-
After the birth and after loss
Breastfeeding support, perinatal mental health, help for premature babies and twins, and grief support after pregnancy or baby loss.
If you need urgent help
The organizations listed here are not emergency services. If you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, trouble breathing, a baby who is not moving as usual, or any symptom that worries you, call your local emergency number or your own doctor or midwife straight away.
How we put this directory together
- Official sources first. Every listing was checked against the organization’s own website or a government page on 11 October 2026.
- National organizations first. We list major national services, charities and professional bodies, not every local clinic or group. A national organization is often the quickest way to local help.
- Plain facts. Each entry says whether the organization offers direct help, so you know whether to call or simply read.
- Independent organizations. We do not run these services and cannot answer questions on their behalf. Links open each organization’s own website, where you will find its current information.
Contact details change, so confirm phone numbers and opening hours on the official site before you rely on them. This directory is general information and does not replace care from your own doctor or midwife; our disclaimer explains more.
While you are here, work out your dates with our pregnancy due date calculator or see all our pregnancy calculators.
Common questions
Short answers about how to use the directory.
What is this directory for?
It helps you find trusted help in your own country: a helpline to call, a charity that understands what you are going through, a professional body to ask about care, or an official page that explains how maternity services work. Pick your country flag to see its organizations.
Are these organizations connected to this website?
No. We list them for information. Being listed does not mean an organization has reviewed our content, and it does not mean we endorse every piece of advice it gives. Each entry links to the organization’s own website so you always reach its current information.
Can I use these services instead of seeing a doctor or midwife?
No. They give information and support, and some offer advice from trained staff, but none replaces your own care team. For urgent symptoms, call your local emergency number. Our disclaimer explains more.
How up to date are the phone numbers and links?
Contact details were checked against each organization’s official website on 11 October 2026. Phone numbers, opening hours and addresses change, so use the official links in each entry to confirm them before you rely on them.
Why do some entries say they do not offer a helpline?
Some organizations are professional bodies, government departments or research groups. They publish reliable information but do not answer personal questions. Each entry says whether direct help is available, so you do not waste time on the wrong number.
