Ready for the birth

Safety for mother and child is our top priority. With around 2000 births per year, we guarantee you the best possible care in the feel-good atmosphere of our hospital. Our hotel-like rooms, the large, beautiful park and, last but not least, our caring, empathetic staff all contribute to this.

What do I need to take with me to the birth?

Ideally, the birth bag should be packed three weeks before the due date. This way, you can come to us completely relaxed at the start of labour. We will take care of the baby's initial equipment during the hospital stay.

Important documents are

  • Insurance card
  • Blood group card
  • Mother's passport
  • Vaccination booklet
  • all laboratory results during pregnancy

Birth

Wishes and concerns

Before the birth, it is important to think about your expectations regarding your stay with us at Bethesda Hospital. We would ask you to take a few minutes to formulate your wishes and concerns so that we can respond to them as effectively as possible during the birth and in the postnatal period.

Please also discuss your wishes and ideas with your gynaecologist in advance.

Medical care

The birth of your child is an extraordinary moment in your life. An event for which only the best environment is good enough: first-class medical care, experienced midwives, dedicated nursing staff and a service that leaves nothing to be desired.

You will find all of this with us, from the time of the positive pregnancy test through to the postnatal period and beyond. We would be delighted to accompany you on this exciting journey.

Our experienced midwives will provide you with valuable information that can be very helpful during pregnancy. You will also receive suggestions from our midwives for a good birth and learn lots of interesting facts about the postnatal period.

During the midwife consultations, you will have the opportunity to ask practical questions, discuss and obtain information about nutrition, the course of pregnancy, birth and everything related to it. Please note that all the services listed are counselling sessions and no examinations take place.
