Our care is based on principles of prevention, reassurance, reinforce- ment of the woman's own abilities and her natural resources - with appropriate intervention being kept to the necessary minimum.
For the whole process the personal relationship between the mother/family and their midwife that forms over the time is essential. It leaves enough room to talk about emotional and physical changes surrounding childbirth, as well as answering any questions. The regular pre-natal consultations focus on the establishment of good communications and a sensitive tactile contact.
One essential component is the preparing of a birth plan – that helps to clarify what is important for you during birth (rituals, procedures, birth-positions) - regardless of your choice of place for your birth.
Regular check-ups, such as the determination of the baby's position in the womb and the baby's heartbeat, are carried out along with follow-up examinations of physical parameters that are relevant for the pregnancy. Essential medical tests also form a part of the prenatal routine. The Birthing Center works in a continuum of care that includes the collaboration and co-operation with other medical specialists when needed. If risks are determined during our consultations we co-operate with obstetricians and paediatricians when necessary.
