Care Services

Prenatal and postnatal services are provided by most German insurances.

Care in Pregnancy

I offer care in pregnancy alongside your Frauenarzt. Once you have made contact with me I will arrange a booking appointment which is carried out at your house. This appointment includes:

Taking a medical history
If applicable discussing previous pregnancies
Discussing prenatal screening where needed
Different options for birth: hospital, geburtshaus or home delivery
Options for childbirth preparation classes
Exercise and diet in pregnancy.

Where possible I like to meet with the pregnant lady at least once or twice in the pregnancy. I am happy to offer antenatal checks, if the Frauenarzt is unable to do a check.
