Prenatal care
Comprehensive medical care throughout the entire pregnancy to identify risks early.
The goal of prenatal care is the early detection of high-risk pregnancies and high-risk births. This allows for the timely identification and prevention of potential risks and health problems for mother and child during pregnancy and after delivery.
During your pregnancy, we or your midwife will perform regular checkups. These include urine tests, blood pressure and weight checks, and ultrasound scans. Blood tests will also be performed to check iron, thyroid hormones, vitamin D, and other laboratory parameters typical for pregnancy—especially at the beginning of the pregnancy.
1st trimester
After confirming the pregnancy and receiving the important laboratory results, we issue a maternity record.
The maternity record documents important examinations and results, such as blood type with Rhesus factor and relevant pre-existing medical conditions. The maternity record should be kept in your handbag as a constant companion during pregnancy.
2nd trimester
For most women, the most pleasant phase of pregnancy begins in the 14th week. The second phase of pregnancy is a time of relaxation, well-being, and preparation. The physical and emotional benefits of this phase create a valuable foundation for tackling the challenges of the third trimester with calm and strength.
3rd trimester
This phase of pregnancy is characterized by intense changes and preparations for birth. The growing belly and increased weight can cause physical discomfort. The antenatal examinations, including cardiotocography (CTG), are designed to ensure that mother and child receive optimal care.
Individual care during pregnancy
We provide expert and compassionate care throughout your pregnancy to optimally protect your health and that of your child. In accordance with German maternity guidelines, we conduct all recommended prenatal checkups, such as blood and urine tests, regular weight checks, blood pressure measurements, and ultrasound examinations at the recommended intervals. Using modern prenatal diagnostics—including ultrasound and genetic testing—we can identify potential risks early on. We diagnose gestational diabetes with the oral glucose tolerance test and, together with a diabetologist, provide you with individualized nutritional counseling and targeted therapies. We closely monitor preeclampsia and hypertension and initiate medication treatment as needed.
Traveling during pregnancy
Some airlines require pregnant women to provide proof of an uncomplicated pregnancy. If you are planning a trip from the second trimester onwards, please remember to inform yourself. We can help you with the necessary formalities at any time – even at short notice. It is in your own interest to seek timely and personalized advice – even if no airline requires it.
Protect yourself and your unborn child!
