Support for Military Families Giving Birth Overseas
MOB Family is a centralized resource for U.S. military families navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care in Wiesbaden, Germany.
A Clearer Path
Through an Unfamiliar System
Giving birth overseas can feel uncertain - a different healthcare system, different expectations, and limited guidance. Families often piece together information across multiple sources.
MOB Family brings that information into one place - so you can move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care with clarity and confidence.

MOB Family, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was developed through Syracuse University D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF).
Supported by early contributors, MOB Family brings together clinical guidance and integrative therapies to support women and families from preconception through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
This is a coordinated model of care designed to address physical health, emotional well-being, and system navigation within a complex host nation healthcare environment.
