Frequently asked questions about giving birth at the Geisenhofer Klinik (FAQ)
What makes the Dr Geisenhofer Women's Clinic so special?
The Geisenhofer Klinik is characterised by its private and quiet atmosphere, its unique location in the middle of the English Garden and its high level of medical expertise.
What options are there for pain relief during labour?
We offer a variety of pain relief options during labour, including both stronger and milder methods - such as epidural anaesthesia (epidural) and painkillers, which we can administer via vein or as suppositories.
Can I give birth with a hospital doctor or an in-patient doctor?
Both options are possible. If you decide in favour of a birth with Attending physician you can choose a doctor from our list - this doctor will take care of your registration and will be present during the delivery. Alternatively, you can register directly via the Geisenhofer Medical Care Centre (MVZ) where our clinic team will support you throughout the birth.
How is aftercare organised?
As a rule, mothers and their newborns stay with us at the clinic until the U2 examination, which is normally carried out from the third day of life. Until then, both are cared for by us. The first bonding and the first attempt at breastfeeding take place immediately after the birth, as these first moments together are particularly important for mother and child. Of course, outpatient deliveries are also possible at our clinic.
