Your Urin test:

  • Nitrit
  • Blood
  • Vaginale Untersuchung: vaginal examinations, not necessary performed every time or actually ever , stays blank or is used as space to note down other findings
  • Sonstiges / Therapie / Maßnahmen : Others / therapy /procedure more room regarding medical treatment

Mutterpass 4 Your Pregnancy takes you trough the middle pages

An additional folder page gives room

  • for additional information
  • “Stationäre Behandlung während der Schangerschaft” : if you have been hospitalized during your pregnancy
  • “Cardiotokoghraphische Befunde”: Findings regarding a performed CTG     (monitoring of the baby heart beat )

As they are not mandatory, this page stays blank or I have seen the CTG findings noted on other  pages.

The next post is ready for you. Here.

And if you are still teaching for a birth preparation class I can only recommend this Midwifery Praxis in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg.

Lots of love & Go leor de ghrá,
