Pregnant - what next? --> During the pregnancy

When should you contact us during pregnancy?

  1. When there is clear red blood loss from the vagina.
  2. When there is a continuous discharge from the vagina.
  3. When you have (regular) stomachache.
  4. When there are less or no signs of life for a whole day (after the 27th week of your pregnancy).
  5. When you are worried.

Where should you have the baby ?

When you have been pregnant for about 34 weeks, you will be given a brochure about the delivery and the confinement. Read this through and ask us if anything is not clear. In the course of the pregnancy or sometimes even during childbirth you may determine how you want to have the baby. If the pregnancy has been without complications, home is a good and safe place to have your baby. If there are complications during a home delivery we will refer you to a gynaecologist in good time. Another option is a delivery in a polyclinic, a birthing room in a hospital as it were, where we assist the childbirth. If there are any complications we will refer you to the gynaecologist. Check to see whether your health insurance covers a delivery in a polyclinic.
