The German Maternity Guideline does not provide specific recommendations for the care of these women. The aim of this study was to evaluate the care of pregnant women with pre-existing medical conditions in German perinatal centers (Level 1 and 2) and perinatal care level 3 hospitals.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Based on guidelines and literature, seven topics were identified: preconception counseling, timing of consultation, care for pregnant women with rare diseases, participation in continuing education, multidisciplinary case conferences, resources for patient counseling, and transfer of the patient to another center. Representatives of all perinatal centers were contacted by email and invited to participate. The anonymous online survey was conducted using the SoSci Survey platform.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Of 310 centers, 103 (33.2%) representatives responded. 62.2% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009= 64) reported managing 11\u201330 pregnant women with pre-existing conditions per month. 22.1% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009= 23) of all centers regularly care for pregnant women with rare diseases, and 46.6% offer preconception counseling. University hospitals offer these services more frequently.
