Birthing Hospital in Berlin

Each birthing hospital in Berlin has unique characteristics

Berlin has 19 Hospitals you can choose from. They are all general hospitals, with many departments and on of those being the birthing unit. Some call themselves- Klinik für Geburtshilfe- which is maternity clinic and others call themselves -Geburtsmedizin -which translates into obstetrics clinic.

What we can establish is that a Birthing hospital in Berlin has following to offer:

midwifes and DR working together
pain medication can be given at any stage
an anaesthetics department ( pain medication can be given at any stage)
operating room(s) to perform a c- section at any time
a Wochenbettstation ( postnatal ward )

Where the hospitals might differ:

how you register and when
in size 800 births a year vs 5000 births a year
neonatal unit- intensive care for newborns
c section and instrumental births ratio
family rooms after birth
on call midwifes( if wanted and found)

There isn’t a BEST birthing hospital in Berlin, the one everybody should go to.

You will certainly hear people voice different opinions about different hospitals.If it’s in person or online. Your midwife, your OBGYN might give you ideas. However in the end it’s your choice and you have to come to a decision on your own terms.

But how do you decide and choose a birthing hospital in Berlin?

I invite you to ask yourself following questions and curiously see how you feel about even the question and/ or your answer:

Do I feel like the hospital should be close to home?
Do I feel like the hospital should have a neonatal unit
How do I feel if the hospital has no neonatal unit?
How do I feel about a busy, maybe more hectic environment?
How important do I feel about a calmer and maybe more relaxed surrounding?
Do I think it’s important how high or low the C-section ratio is?
is it important for me if my partner might be able to stay with me and the baby after birth ( Familienzimmer)
How do I feel about the visiting hours after birth?
How do I feel if the hospital is more breastfeeding friendly and has a lactation consultant on staff
How important is it for me that the midwifes and DR. speak English?

Your answers and your feeling might give you a little clue and a direction on how to proceed with finding the right hospital for you.

How do you go from here:
