Personalised and self-determined: Midwife-led births at Bethesda Hospital

The midwife-led birth - self-determined through pregnancy & birth.

While midwife-led births have now become established in Swiss hospitals, midwife-led births by attending midwives are still very rare.

If parents-to-be decide to give birth under the guidance of an attending midwife, they can look forward to personalised care throughout. Our attending midwives accompany you from early pregnancy through labour to the postnatal period. This continuous support enables a unique relationship of trust and personalised, self-determined care that is tailored to your individual needs.

In the event of deviations from the normal course of labour or complications during pregnancy and birth, the attending physicians and the medical team at Bethesda Hospital are available at all times.

Versatile and safe birth options on the Bethesda Campus

Bethesda Hospital offers not only midwife-led births on campus, but also a wide range of other options for pregnancy and birth support. Whether through a hospital birth, outpatient birth or in the specialised birth centre "Haus der Geburt Bethesda" - our comprehensive range of services enables expectant parents to shape their birth experience in a natural and self-determined way.

The combination of a traditional model with an attending doctor and the advantages of our in-house team creates a unique choice in the region. Regardless of the type of obstetric care you choose, the well-being and safety of mother and child in a calm and secure atmosphere is paramount on our campus. Our interdisciplinary team of attending physicians, attending midwives, in-house midwives and in-house physicians attaches great importance to a natural, safe birth and offers continuous, trustworthy care, customised to the personal wishes and needs of the parents-to-be.
