PREGNANCY

In midwifery care, you are not simply a receiver. You are the central part of the team. You are actively involved in decisions, examinations, and the care that is offered to you. You also contribute with your own knowledge and experience – about your body, your baby, and your journey.

At every visit, we first catch up and estalbish an connection. Together, we listen to your baby’s heartbeat, palpate your belly, and feel for your baby’s position. You learn how to touch your own body with safety and connection. Your birth plan is not just a document, it is a process we create together, step by step, with confidence and care.

Every home-visit is based on connection, transparency and shared decision-making.
