Antenatal classes
As your personal midwife I offer antenatal care from the start of your pregnancy.
If you want antenatal care by you gynaecologist, I would like you to book visits with me from the 34. week of pregnancy at the latest.

Birth
Homebirth
Birthing at the Geburtshaus Zollikerberg
By having a homebirth you will choose a natural and self-determined birth that will empower you and your family.
When you have a normal, low risk pregnancy you can give birth in the familiar and safe environment of a birthing center.
When giving birth at the birthing center you will be individually cared for by me during your pregnancy an the postnatal period. The on-call period around your due date is shared within a small team. A second midwife will additionally be there for the birth.
During and after the birth I will provide a quiet and peaceful environment so you can have a relaxed start as a family and enough time to admire your baby.

Costs
All listed services will be paid by your general health insurance.
Your health insurance will also pay 150.- CHF on antenatal classes.
As I will be on call for you for 5 weeks around your due date, I will ask you to pay 115.- Franken for the postnatal period and 800.- Franken for a birth at the birthing center.
In some cases your residential Community will bear some of these costs. It is worth asking.
