Prenatal care at German Clinic Marbella
Pregnancy is one of the most important stages in a woman’s life. At German Clinic Marbella we offer comprehensive and individualized prenatal care, with professional competence, confidence and updated according to the latest medical advances. Our goal is to optimally accompany expectant mothers during this special time and ensure the health of both mother and baby.
Regular prenatal checkups
Ideally, prenatal care begins in the early stages of pregnancy, once the pregnancy has been confirmed by a physician. Generally, check-ups are performed every four weeks, and from the 32nd week of pregnancy onwards, every two weeks. In case of high-risk pregnancy, we recommend more frequent intervals. Check-ups include:
- Ultrasound scans to monitor infant growth and development
- Blood tests for infection control and deficiency detection
- Glucose test to diagnose gestational diabetes
- CTG (cardiotocography) to monitor fetal heart rate and possible contractions
These periodic check-ups allow early detection of possible complications and establish a secure basis for the continued development of the pregnancy.
Individualized care by physicians and midwives
Our prenatal care is provided by experienced gynecologists and gynecologists, together with a competent team of midwives. Depending on your personal needs, prenatal check-ups can be performed either in our clinic or with the assistance of an accompanying midwife. It is advisable to choose the midwife you would like to accompany you in advance, as many are booked in advance.
Early detection of possible complications
Some symptoms may indicate complications and should be evaluated by a medical professional. These include:
- Unusual or severe abdominal pains
- Bleeding during pregnancy
- Signs of hypertension or excessive fluid retention
- Significant reduction in the baby’s movements
In these cases, it is essential to go immediately to the gynecologist or clinic.
Childbirth preparation and courses
An important part of prenatal care is preparation for childbirth. At German Clinic Marbella we offer several childbirth preparation courses, including:
- Classical courses with breathing exercises and relaxation techniques
- Hypnobirthing for mental preparation for birth
- Yoga and Pilates courses to improve mobility and wellness
- Special courses for couples or multiple pregnancies
These offers are tailored to the individual needs of each pregnant woman and support physical and mental preparation for childbirth.
Postpartum care and support after birth
Even after childbirth, it is important to have professional support. Our midwives and gynecologists will assist you during the postpartum period. Postpartum care includes, among other things, monitoring of the recovery process, wound healing, as well as advice on breastfeeding or feeding the newborn.
Costs and benefits
The benefits included in prenatal care – including medical check-ups, midwife care and participation in childbirth preparation courses – are usually covered by health insurance. In addition, you are entitled to financial assistance such as maternity allowance and benefits during maternity leave. We will be happy to advise you individually about possible benefits and applications.
Tips for a healthy pregnancy
A healthy lifestyle is the foundation for a stable pregnancy. This includes:
- Balanced diet and adequate hydration
- Regular exercise, adapted to the stage of pregnancy
- Sufficient sleep and rest periods
- Avoiding stress and receiving support in the face of emotional burdens
Prenatal care at German Clinic Marbella is characterized by safety, confidence and professional competence. We accompany you on your way to delivery with medical care and personalized attention.
