"Why should I have my midwife?"

Pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium are some of the most crucial moments in a woman's life and how she experiences this period is very important. The presence of a midwife who is familiar and trusted, and who also knows you, your wishes and ideas, can have a very positive influence on the course of the delivery, allowing the woman to concentrate only on herself. A woman's body is a wonderful thing and can cope with the very difficult moments that childbirth brings. Hormones help us to do that. In order to make the hormones flow well, a woman needs to feel calm and safe.
A midwife is a woman's assistant. She gives advice, listens, supports, but also knows the physiology of pregnancy and childbirth and knows how to support and give confidence to the woman.

Consultation with a midwife

A midwife and a gynaecologist make an ideal combination in the care of a woman.
During pregnancy, the doctor performs the necessary check-ups and examinations to determine whether the pregnancy is physiological and everything is in order. However, the pregnancy consultation usually does not give the woman the optimal space for questions, or to discuss her feelings, fears and the birth plan. Therefore, you have the opportunity to discuss this with your midwife. It may include a tour of the delivery rooms.
Consultations take place every Tuesday 12:00 to 14:00, they are free of charge and must be booked in advance via the e-ambulance.

After finishing my studies at SHS, I continued my studies as a midwife and then went on to specialisation and university studies. In recent years, I have completed a number of courses focusing on care of women in physiological and non-progressive labour, working with the rebozo in pregnancy and labour, care of the caesarean scar and care of the woman after childbirth. I prefer friendly communication and mutual respect in my work. During pregnancy, my care focuses on the psychological well-being of the woman, the correct position of the woman's body and pelvis. I work with Reboz, which I use to relax and unwind the whole body and pelvic floor muscles. I run group antenatal classes, but it is not a problem to run individual classes according to the parents' wishes and needs. I prefer a natural course during labour without unnecessary interventions. I recommend vaginal douching, aromatherapy, massage, relief positions, rebozo care and above all calmness and patience. Of course, in a physiological course, respect for the woman's wishes, free movement, hydrotherapy, choice of birth position, bonding, cord clamping and consultation in the puerperium.

"I like when women who give birth with us are happy, feel good and remember their birth fondly." If a woman is referred to the care of our outpatient clinic, I accompany her to every consultation room. In labour I respect the wishes of the woman giving birth, I try to manage a natural birth. If all is well, I do not interfere in the birth, but at the same time I maintain control over the course of the birth. I use steam therapy, aromatherapy, I support the woman in choosing the birth position.

I am a midwife and I enjoy my profession very much. I started doing individual care because of the bigger and more comprehensive view of pregnancy and then birth. I care for women in pregnancy. I look at the position of her body (tension, relaxation, back pain, pelvic pain...), the position of the fetus. In case of major problems I recommend a visit to a physiotherapist. I take care of a woman with a scar from a previous SC. We discuss birth wishes and ideas and the possibilities of fulfilling them. I like the naturalness of midwifery, calmness and confidence. If the birth is going well on its own, I don't intervene. I use Rebozo, aromatherapy, cupping, homeopathy, and various positions to make the birth go more smoothly. But if necessary, I use the means of classical medicine. I am happy when a woman takes away a nice feeling of a well managed birth without any traumas.

I am grateful to be present at the birth of a new life and if I can contribute to its success, that is the greatest reward for me. I offer women my years of knowledge and experience as a midwife. This includes not only lifelong learning, but also rediscovering the forgotten wisdom of nature. I strive to meet a woman's wishes, but at the same time I am aware that even natural childbirth has its limits. The most important outcome of childbirth for me is a healthy baby in the arms of a happy mother. You can use my services not only at the birth, but also during swimming and exercise during pregnancy. I perform massages for overall relaxation, aromatherapy, I work with rebound. I provide consultations or I can be a guide through your entire pregnancy and birth.

I am currently working as a midwife in the delivery room, and I have previously worked in the puerperium and high-risk pregnancy unit. I have 4 children. I see the possibility of providing individual care to women as an opportunity to get to know the client better, to work with her during pregnancy. As part of my antenatal preparation I offer personal meetings including discussing birth wishes, Rebozo massage, the opportunity to do an individual antenatal course, scar care after a previous caesarean section, telephone and face to face consultations if required. During the birth itself, I try to proceed individually as agreed with the client. If the birth proceeds without complications, I leave the woman free and do not interfere in the birth process and I am more in the role of an observer. If it is possible, I prefer to use non-pharmacological means during labour such as Rebozo, infusion, aromatherapy, relief positions, during the second period of labour I allow the woman to take the position of her choice during labour. During the puerperium period I offer the possibility of a telephone consultation. My goal and wish is that a woman remembers her birth as one of the most beautiful moments in her life.

My goal is to help women have a beautiful and fulfilling pregnancy and birth. I want them to come to the birth calm, balanced, and able to perceive their bodies, work with them, and be connected to themselves. I want them to be informed and have realistic expectations. An empathetic, supportive, and mutually respectful approach is important to me. In my work, I draw on more than 20 years of experience with exercising pregnant women, and I also take professional courses in the field of care for pregnant women. In my care, I monitor women comprehensively—I am interested in their posture and any difficulties they may have, and I strive to remedy them. If necessary, I work with physical therapists. I educate women about further care at home and teach them relief methods. I use rebozo, swaddling in a scarf, overball, ball exercises, massage, vaginal steaming, aromatherapy, music therapy, and visualization. At the end of pregnancy, I offer women methods to support natural labor and education about the course of labor and early postpartum. If interested, it is possible to tour the delivery room and postpartum ward. I offer care throughout the entire pregnancy, or you can use only some of the services.
