In the heart of University Hospital Freiburg, midwife-led delivery rooms offer a more natural and personalized birthing experience compared to standard obstetric-led deliveries. These rooms are designed to support vaginal births with minimal medical intervention, emphasizing the physiological process of birth under the guidance and support of experienced midwives.

Services provided in these rooms include continuous support and monitoring by midwives throughout labor and delivery, the use of non-medical pain relief methods such as water immersion, breathing techniques, and movement, encouragement of the mother's mobility and position choices during labor, assistance with immediate bonding and breastfeeding after birth, and collaboration with obstetricians for transfer if medical complications arise.

Midwife-led delivery rooms generally operate 24/7 but often have limited capacity, so advance registration or prenatal consultations are recommended. Women with low-risk pregnancies are usually eligible to deliver in these rooms. Prenatal classes and consultations with midwives are often provided to prepare expectant mothers.

Favoring minimal interventions can reduce cesarean rates and improve maternal satisfaction. Midwife-led care is associated with positive birth outcomes for low-risk pregnancies. Natural birth environments support physiological birth processes and promote mental well-being.

For specific details on services, scheduling, and natural birth insights at University Hospital Freiburg's midwife-led delivery rooms, contacting their Department of Obstetrics or Midwifery Services directly would provide the most accurate, up-to-date information.

A trusting, intimate atmosphere is a key feature of the midwife-led delivery room. Strong painkillers are not routinely used, and continuous one-on-one care by midwives is central in the midwife-led delivery room. Obstetricians are available in the background, and if painkillers are needed, further care continues as usual in collaboration with the medical team. The midwife-led delivery room is located within the University Hospital Freiburg, and no room or midwife change is necessary if painkillers are needed. Painkillers are available if required in the midwife-led delivery room.
