For some, it is clear from the beginning, while for others, it becomes apparent during the course of the pregnancy: a C-section will be the chosen method of delivery, whether due to maternal or child-related reasons. If you are considering this option for yourself, I offer an open consultation in a safe environment.
Birth Preparation and Accompaniment
If the decision for a C-section is made, I believe that both the mother and her baby deserve special birth preparation. To optimally prepare you and your child for the birth by C-section, in addition to prenatal check-ups, there will be acupuncture, relaxation journeys, and bonding work as part of a preparation course. You will know the procedure on the day of the birth in detail and understand what to expect.
During the birth itself, I will, of course, accompany you and ensure that your baby can come to you for cuddling immediately after birth and that the first breastfeeding happens as soon as possible.
As the first midwife in Austria, I have also assisted with a mother-assisted C-section. Interested? We will discuss it and make it possible for you. There are also other options during the birth that we will discuss in detail beforehand.
After the C-section
After the birth, you will spend a few days recovering in the hospital. There, I will assist you with breastfeeding and caring for your little one. Additionally, I will show you initial postpartum and pelvic floor exercises and provide advice and support.
After a C-section, some things at home will also be different. For proper healing, the incision requires special care and treatment. As the first midwife in Austria, I am certified as a scar therapist according to the Lieder Concept®. Treatments following the Lieder Concept aim to prevent or minimize further complaints or conditions that the scar can cause over time. This is also part of my postnatal visits. Additionally, we will work together to ensure that you, as a new family, can settle in well and get to know each other intensively.

I offer birth support at the private clinics Goldenes Kreuz and Döbling.
Your Healthy Pelvic Floor
Shortly after childbirth, your pelvic floor begins to regenerate from the immense strain it has endured. At this point, postpartum and pelvic floor therapy is fundamental for your future quality of life.
As a midwife, I see myself somewhat as the guardian of the pelvic floor for the women I care for. In my opinion, a stable, healthy, and strong pelvic floor is the foundation for high quality of life. Therefore, we start with appropriate exercises during pregnancy.
During the first postpartum visits, I will show you exercises you can do on your own to lay the groundwork for the rapid restoration of full function.
From six weeks after birth, you can begin postpartum therapy aimed at getting your body, especially your pelvic floor, back into shape. The therapy sessions are conducted individually, allowing me to cater to your specific needs and provide you with a personalized training plan.
