Pregnancy & after

Midwife consultation

Midwife and doctors under one roof: with us, both professions complement each other instead of working side by side. For you that means short paths, shared knowledge — and support that does not end with the birth.

Outlook 2027

We are expanding the midwife consultation as part of our new services from 2027. Coordination will be led by Magdalena Fien, who joins us in September as team lead.

What the midwife consultation offers

Pregnancy advice: everyday complaints (nausea, back, sleep), birth preparation, questions that arise between two doctor appointments
Alternating check-ups: the midwife can take over parts of antenatal care — documented in the same maternity record, coordinated with your doctor
Postpartum: the body’s recovery, cord care, weight checks, the first deep breath — at home or with us
Breastfeeding counselling: latching, milk supply, sore nipples, weaning — practical help instead of good advice

Why midwife + doctor under one roof

The usual way: search for a midwife (often for months), parallel to the practice, two systems that do not talk to each other. Our way: the midwife is part of the team. Findings, maternity record and quick coordination run internally — if something medical shows during postpartum care, the appointment is quickly made, and vice versa. From autumn 2026 a second midwife joins the team, and we expand the course programme around birth and recovery.

Honestly: our midwife capacity does not replace the classic postpartum midwife for daily home visits right after birth — you should still look for one early (ideally in the first trimester). We advise, bridge and complement — and help you with the search.

Courses & groups

Birth preparation, postnatal recovery and pregnancy yoga are planned and will start step by step — on our roof terrace and in the practice rooms. The newsletter announces dates and registration; insurance subsidies for certified courses are foreseen. What already runs, you find on the courses page.

Frequent questions about the midwife consultation

Does this replace my postpartum midwife?

No — for daily home care right after birth you still need a postpartum midwife. Our consultation complements: advice, checks, breastfeeding help, and bridging if you have not found one.

What does insurance pay?

Midwifery care is largely covered: counselling, shares of antenatal care, postpartum care, breastfeeding advice. Certified courses are subsidised. Whatever would be private in your case, we tell you beforehand.

When should I get in touch?

For advice: any time. For planning postpartum care: ideally in the first trimester — the midwife shortage is real, and being early is the most effective trick.

Can I come without being a patient of the practice?

Ask us — depending on capacity it is possible. Priority goes to women whose pregnancy we look after, because there the cooperation creates the greatest benefit.
