Hi everyone! I'm 27 years old and pregnant, living in Rotkreuz. 23 weeks so far and everything is great according to the gynechologist.
I’m deciding between giving birth at Zuger Kantonsspital, LUKS Luzern and Klinik St. Anna. Could you please share your experiences mostly about this:
- English: could you communicate well with the midwives and doctors throughout labour only in English? We are still learning German and don't feel confident yet.
- Respecting your wishes: we'd like the labor to be as natural as safely possible. Were recommendations and alternatives clearly explained? Did you feel supported, or pressured into speeding up labour or having a C-section without a clear medical reason? (I may be paranoid, but I have the feeling that some hospitals may try to speed things up to make more money.)
- Overall experience: How was the care during birth and afterwards? Would you choose the same hospital again?
Please mention which hospital and roughly when you gave birth. Thank you!
