Prenatal Care

Comprehensive, risk-adapted, and individualized prenatal care is essential for the health of both mother and baby. In our gynecology practice, we support you from early pregnancy through birth and into the postpartum period. We consciously take time for all your questions, explain every step clearly, and support you with any uncertainties or symptoms. From personal experience, I know how important it is to feel seen, taken seriously, and well cared for—and to be able to seek medical advice whenever you need it.

Your maternity record – your personal health document

The maternity record accompanies you throughout your entire pregnancy—it is your personal document. It contains all important findings such as blood and urine tests, ultrasound results, the course of pregnancy, identified risks and recommendations, as well as details of the birth and the postpartum examination. We explain every entry clearly and are always happy to answer your questions.

Care for High-Risk Pregnancies

If specific risk factors are present—such as maternal age over 35, pre-existing conditions, multiple pregnancies, or complications in previous pregnancies—we offer close, individually tailored care. This may include specialized screening tests or more frequent ultrasound and laboratory monitoring. Our aim is maximum safety for both mother and child.

Prenatal diagnostics / NIPT

Non-invasive prenatal diagnostics allow an early and reliable risk assessment for chromosomal abnormalities, genetic conditions, or congenital malformations—without risk to the baby. We provide detailed counseling on:

First-Trimester Screening
By combining fetal nuchal translucency measurement between weeks 12 and 14 of pregnancy with analysis of placental hormones (β-hCG and PAPP-A) in maternal blood, a risk calculation for chromosomal abnormalities can be performed. The thickness of the nuchal fold is also an important indicator of congenital anomalies such as heart defects.
Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT)
‍NIPT analyzes fetal DNA in the mother’s blood, allowing highly reliable detection or exclusion of trisomy 21, as well as trisomies 13 and 18. Upon request, the test can also determine whether you are expecting a girl or a boy.
Rhesus NIPT
This test determines the fetal Rhesus D factor from maternal blood early in pregnancy. It can help avoid unnecessary anti-D injections and allows optimal planning of care in Rh-incompatible pregnancies

In our gynecology practice in Munich, we offer comprehensive medical genetic counseling in combination with early detailed ultrasound for the detection of fetal anomalies.

Color Doppler Examination

By examining maternal and fetal blood vessels, placental blood flow and fetal supply can be assessed. This examination is used in cases of:

Growth restriction
Placental dysfunction
Suspected preeclampsia
High-risk pregnancies
Multiple pregnancies

It increases safety and allows optimal monitoring of the baby’s well-being.

Preeclampsia screening

Early preeclampsia screening can identify patients at risk of developing preeclampsia (“pregnancy-induced hypertension”) later in pregnancy, already during the first trimester. We assess your personal and family medical history, blood pressure, blood flow in the uterine arteries using Doppler ultrasound, and the biomarker PlGF.

If an increased risk is identified, preventive measures such as low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) can significantly reduce the risk of developing the condition.

3D and 4D ultrasound

Our modern ultrasound technology enables fascinating 3D and 4D images of your baby. These high-quality examinations support a more detailed assessment of fetal development while also creating unforgettable moments for expectant parents.

Infections during pregnancy

We provide comprehensive counseling on relevant infections, including:

Toxoplasmosis
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Parvovirus B19 (fifth disease)
Group B streptococcus
Listeriosis

Through targeted education and preventive measures, potential sources of infection can be identified early and risks reduced.

Breastfeeding Counseling

Good preparation is key to a relaxed start to breastfeeding. In our practice, we offer comprehensive breastfeeding counseling already during pregnancy. Together, we discuss the collection of colostrum, which can be particularly beneficial in high-risk pregnancies such as gestational diabetes. We also demonstrate various breastfeeding positions and latching techniques so that you and your baby can feel confident and calm from the very beginning. We inform you about milk production after birth, the onset of lactation, and possible challenges during the breastfeeding period. If you have questions, concerns, or individual needs, we are here to support you with expertise and empathy—for a successful start to breastfeeding and a healthy mother–child bond.

Postpartum follow-up examination

Approximately 6–8 weeks after delivery, we recommend a comprehensive postpartum check-up. This includes discussion and examination of:

Your experience of childbirth
Involution of the uterus and pelvic floor
Wound healing after vaginal delivery or cesarean section
Hormonal changes during the early postpartum and breastfeeding period
Your psychological well-being
The course of breastfeeding

We also advise you on postnatal pelvic floor exercises and suitable contraception during the postpartum period.

Holistic Prenatal Care – Medically Sound & Empathetic

Our goal is to guide you safely through your pregnancy—with expertise, experience, and constant support. We look forward to accompanying you and your baby
