Hebamme Gerlinde Skupin

Should complications arise or should you have certain risks in your medical history or you simply want me to because of a safer feeling, I can call another midwife to assist me. After the birth there is lots of time for mother and baby to bond in close contact with each other.

If necessary I can help with the first breastfeeding. After this I will suture any perineal tears, weigh and measure the baby together with the parents, and do the newborn exam (U1).

Medications for the baby such as vitamin K are only given after consulting with the parents. To observe the condition of mother and baby I remain at your home for about 3 hours post partum, help you get back up on your feet for the first time, tidy up, and fill out the important paperwork. To me, every single time, a home birth is still an amazing gift, and I thank all parents for their trust in me and my work.
