01 Where can I get information about pregnancy and birth?

The most important contact person during pregnancy is the gynecologist. They carry out medical checks at regular intervals. In this way, they can monitor the development of the child and recognize possible dangers for mother and child. Freelance midwives (obstetricians) can also answer questions about the birth during pregnancy.



In the hospitals there are offers for Childbirth preparation courses. There you will learn interesting facts about birth, breastfeeding and the new tasks as parents. In some regions of Switzerland, these courses are held in different languages. You can find more information here.


In the Birth preparation courses of the Caritas there is useful information about pregnancy, birth and the first time with the baby. The courses are accompanied by intercultural translators.
