Parents wait for the birth of a child, no matter a boy or a girl, as if it were a miracle, because this event can hardly be compared with anything in its significance. And of course, the mother, father and all loved ones really want the baby to be born healthy. What influences this? First of all, the health status of both parents, and then the mother’s nutrition and lifestyle during pregnancy, the environmental situation, and the psychological climate in the family. This is something that concerns parents, and on the other hand, the professionalism of doctors who manage pregnancy and deliver birth plays an important role.
By the end of the 2nd – beginning of the 3rd trimester, a woman thinks about where to give birth. When choosing a clinic or maternity hospital, it is important to pay attention to indicators such as infant and maternal mortality, and the frequency of postpartum complications. Statistics show that these rates are lowest in northern European countries, particularly Germany.
Firstly, the equipment of clinics and treatment in Germany allows for a full examination of a pregnant woman, which includes intrauterine cardiography, amniocentesis (puncture of the amniotic membrane to collect amniotic fluid for examination), and cordocentesis (umbilical cord puncture). Secondly, German obstetricians-gynecologists, neonatologists, pediatricians, and nursing staff of maternity hospitals are highly qualified, which ensures high-quality medical care for women in labor and good performance of institutions.
In German clinics, both physiological births without complications and births with pregnancy pathologies are successfully carried out. Here you will be offered safe methods of pain relief (acupuncture, aromatherapy), which, rest assured, will not harm either your child or yourself. Epidural anesthesia can be chosen as desired, but is not mandatory. Also, the task of medical personnel is to reduce the risk of complications in the postpartum period.
The condition of the woman in labor and the fetus, and then the mother and newborn, is monitored through remote wireless monitoring (telemetry). If the baby was born premature, he is placed in the intensive care unit. Children even less than 500 g are cared for here, which indicates the high professionalism of German doctors.
In Germany, they are interested in women giving birth naturally, on their own, which is why strict indications have been developed for surgical interventions. Natural childbirth is physiological and safer for the woman, but if indicated, cesarean section and other obstetric surgical interventions are performed.
In German clinics, childbirth proceeds comfortably due to comfortable living conditions and a calm psychological environment. Women are accommodated in single or double rooms with a private bathroom, refrigerator, TV, and telephone. Such small chambers allow you to create conditions close to home comfort. In addition, the staff of maternity hospitals in Germany are sensitive and attentive to expectant mothers, they are friendly and caring. Each room has a call button, using which, if necessary, you can invite a nurse or doctor. Another important plus: the husband and close people are allowed to be present during the birth process.
You see how much is being done in German clinics to help women in labor. This is not surprising, since the state spends 11.1% of GDP (approximately 234 billion €) on healthcare, which, by the way, is the highest percentage among all EU countries.
The gynecological clinic of Dr. Geisenhofer, located in Munich, has all the above advantages. However, what distinguishes it from many other clinics is that there is a neonatology department here, caesarean sections are performed using a gentle method, and fetal stem cells are collected.
Caesarean section using the Misgav-Ladakh method is performed with a minimum number of incisions, the risk of damage to blood vessels and nerve endings is very low, and blood loss is 1.5 times less. Due to all this, the operation time is reduced, it is less traumatic than a traditional one, and the recovery period for the parent is faster and easier. As for the collection of stem cells, they are obtained from umbilical cord blood, frozen and stored for several decades in case the treatment of various diseases requires their transplantation to a given person. Thus, these features have brought Dr. Geisenhofer’s clinic to a leading position among all European institutions of this kind.
This clinic includes the following departments: gynecological, prenatal diagnostics, anesthesiology, maternity, postpartum, intensive care unit for newborns, plastic surgery. The structure of the institution includes 5 maternity rooms, and the postpartum department has a capacity of 75 beds.
The gynecological clinic of Dr. Geisenhofer is popular both in Germany and abroad. It is chosen not only by German women, but also by pregnant women from other countries who want childbirth to be safe, painless and comfortable.
Highly qualified doctors, modern equipment of the facility, safe methods of pain relief and comfortable conditions — these are what about 2 thousand women choose for themselves and their children every year when they come to give birth in Germany.
