Comprehensive Delivery Care and Support for Expecting Mothers
During pregnancy this will be discussed with each pregnant woman. Below mentioned calling instructions are general. It may occur that we make individual calling arrangements.
For instance as a consequence of a previous delivery and/or development of this pregnancy. We would like to point out that you may always call us without following the general calling instructions. Are you exhausted, frightened, insecure or do you experience (extreme) tension, then this is definitely a reason to call. In that case always try to be as clear as possible with your request for help. Sometimes contact by telephone may be sufficient to solve the problem and it might not always be necessary to come along immediately.
You have to call us
- When the contractions start and/or the waters break before 37 weeks of pregnancy
- In case of contractions:
- Is this your first delivery? Call when you have contractions every 4 minutes for 2 hours that last 60-90 seconds.
- Have you given birth before? Call when you have contractions every 5 minutes for 1 hour that last 60-90 seconds.
- If your water break and the amniotic fluid is green and/or brown or if you are uncertain about the color.
- If your waters break and the amniotic fluid is clear (call only during the day).
- In case of bright red vaginal bleeding (more than just when wiping and/or a few drops).
- When you are worried.
- If your midwife has given you other calling instructions.
