Pregnancy information:
Knowledge for expectant parents
Genetic testing before pregnancy
Many couples start preparing for pregnancy well in advance. Some decide to have a genetic test before pregnancy. Are they necessary for all couples?
Genetic tests during pregnancy
The possibilities of prenatal diagnostics and intrauterine therapy are very broad today. It is often already possible to detect various types of malformations at an early stage of pregnancy and to carry out possible treatment. Non-invasive tests are also becoming increasingly popular. Find out what types of genetic tests are available in pregnancy and who should carry them out.
Bleeding after a C-section
Many women mistakenly believe that there is no bleeding after a caesarean section - unlike a natural birth. Just like after a natural birth, the lining of the uterus has to regenerate after an operation. How long does it take for bleeding to start after a C-section?
Weaker perception of foetal movements
The movements of the foetus are usually perceived by the pregnant woman from about the 20th week of pregnancy. Thanks to them, the expectant mother can monitor the activity and well-being of her baby. A weaker perception of the foetal movements is always a cause for concern for the pregnant woman. What could be the reason for this and what is the best thing to do in the event of reduced movement?
Breastfeeding with inverted nipples
Breastfeeding is the WHO recommended way of feeding babies for at least the first 6 months of life. During pregnancy, the breasts change in preparation for breastfeeding. Do inverted nipples or small breasts prevent breastfeeding?
Colostrum – the first milk
Colostrum, the first milk, has unique properties. It is known as "golden food" because of its colour, but also because of its composition. Colostrum is particularly important for premature babies. What are the characteristics and benefits of colostrum?
Urogynecological physiotherapy
Women's body awareness is increasing today. Both pre- and post-pregnancy women consult a urogynaecological physiotherapist. What does she or he do? How does such a visit look like?
Blue cheese during pregnancy
Blue cheese has many fans because of its taste. It is an ingredient in many dishes and can also be enjoyed as a meal on its own. Pregnant women, however, should enjoy blue cheese with caution. Why actually?
The role of the midwife in childbirth
During the birth, a midwife is always present in the hospital. She supports the woman giving birth and helps the baby to come into the world. Her role is very important. Find out what the midwife does during birth and what it means to have a private midwife.
