Information evenings for expectant parents

An information evening takes place on the first Monday of every month. From 2025, this will be moved to the second Monday of the month. You will receive a lot of information about childbirth, our range of courses, childbirth options and family care in the postnatal period.

You will also have the opportunity to ask your gynaecologist, paediatricians, anaesthetists and midwives your personal questions. A tour of the maternity ward will give you an insight into the delivery room and the postnatal rooms.

Swiss Stem Cells Biotech is the only private Swiss biobank with FACT-NetCord accreditation and is a co-organiser. At the information evening, they will present their exciting programme on stem cell collection from umbilical cord blood and possible therapeutic approaches.

After your registration we will welcome you at the reception of the Privatklinik Bethanien.

Please notice: This event is held in German language.

Time: 19:00-20:30 o'clock
Place: Privatklinik Bethanien

Pain relief and anaesthesia in obstetrics


During birth, there are various options available to relieve the pain of labour. These include the so-called «Happy Button», with which the woman giving birth can release a small amount of painkiller herself as needed.

Meet our experienced doctors in the maternity ward


The advantage of the private clinic's affiliated doctor model is that the pregnant woman and the attending doctor know each other and have a relationship of trust. The doctor is not on site during the entire birth, but there is a lively exchange of information with the midwife team and he or she is quickly on site in case of any complications. During the postpartum period, the doctor examines whether wound healing and involution are progressing well.

Our midwives at your side


The maternity ward is characterised by personal and individual care. The competent team accompanies and supports the family during the entire birth – both in the case of a natural birth and a caesarean section. They also ensure that the parents can build up a strong bond with their child from the very first second.

Bonding time for mother and child: baby massage


The Privatklinik Bethanien offers baby massage classes because children who are massaged feel more comfortable in their skin. But the massage has other benefits as well – for example, it regulates the sleep-wake rhythm, strengthens the immune system and the bond between mother and child.

JIVITA: A relaxing space for you and your child


During pregnancy, body and mind change – and Jivita accompanies you during this time. Jivita is a place to arrive, let go and relax. But also after the birth Jivita accompanies you – e.g. with nutrition and exercise counselling.
