PREGNANCY

_____________________________________________________________

Support concept

Unser Team betreut dich während der gesamten Schwangerschaft, auf Wunsch bei der Geburt im Geburtshaus und während der ersten Tage im Wochenbett bei dir zu Hause. Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit, während der Schwangerschaft und im Wochenbett durch uns betreut zu werden, wenn du die Geburt in einem Krankenhaus planst. Näheres zum Wochenbett findest Du here.

The midwife can confirm your pregnancy and issue you with a maternity pass. She will carry out all relevant examinations independently. Normally, antenatal check-ups are carried out as individual appointments, i.e. one pregnant woman with one midwife. The ultrasound examinations are carried out at your gynaecological practice.

Hilfeleistung bei Beschwerden

Als Hebammen sind wir Ansprechpartnerinnen bei jeglichen Beschwerden, die während der Schwangerschaft auftreten können. Wir beraten ausführlich, leiten bei Bedarf an andere Fachprofessionen weiter und gewährleisten somit eine hochwertige Begleitung.

Procedure

Du kannst entweder zu unserem Info evening für allgemeine Informationen kommen oder direkt einen Termin zum unverbindlichen Vorgespräch bei uns vereinbaren. Beim Vorgespräch erhältst du von einer Hebamme aus dem für dich zuständigen Team einen Überblick über alle geplanten Termine während deiner Schwangerschaft. Es gibt ausreichend Zeit und Raum, um deine Fragen zu besprechen. Während dieses individuell auf dich abgestimmten Termins wird auch geklärt, ob ggf. Gründe vorliegen, die gegen eine Geburtshausgeburt sprechen.

If you decide to be cared for by our team, all relevant examinations during your pregnancy will take place at our birthing centre. You are welcome to bring your sibling(s) or partner with you.

We carry out antenatal check-ups based on the maternity guidelines. They take place every four weeks and every fortnight from the 28th week of pregnancy. These include

• Blood and urine tests
• Blood pressure measurement
• Weight control
• Nutritional counseling
• Checking the child's heartbeat
• Assessment of the regular growth of your child.

The appointments during pregnancy are very important in order to get to know each other well and build up a relationship of mutual trust. If any abnormalities occur, our midwives will refer you to medical staff for further clarification or diagnostics.

All costs are covered by statutory and private health insurance companies. One exception is the on-call flat rate - this is often only partially covered by health insurance and is therefore usually a self-payment service. 

The on-call service

From the 37th week of pregnancy, your midwives will be on call for you. They are available around the clock for you and your mum if the birth begins. You will receive the telephone numbers of your midwives specifically for the on-call service in good time.

The on-call allowance from week 37+0 to 42+0 of pregnancy is partially reimbursed by health insurance companies. You can enquire about the amount from your health insurance provider.

We have decided in favour of a solidarity-based on-call allowance. This means that you decide on a suitable amount based on a realistic self-assessment and the principle of solidarity. In order to simplify this realistic assessment of your own financial situation, we work with what is known as the "on-call allowance". Green bottle principle. We will discuss the details at the preliminary meeting.

We endeavour to make individual payment options possible. Please get in touch with us.
