It’s your child. You should give birth in the way you want to.

We believe parents must be fully involved in caring for the baby from the very beginning. We would be happy to meet you and your partner during the pregnancy and discuss your birth plans. 

We offer a variety of options, including pain management techniques, different delivery positions, yoga and different types therapies.

You decide whether to give birth naturally of with the help of an epidural. If you want a regular delivery – and have previously had a Caesarian – we will advise you and support you every step of the way.
