I'm not sure if this counts as a funny story, more a story of teamwork

...

I most comfortable on the birthing ball, with my hubby behind me supporting my weight and massaging my back progressively lower as baby descended. This went on for at least 4 hours, so he was as exhausted as me. I was soooo grateful for that massaging!!

I still cant get over them still calling you "Sie" after they've had their hands up your bits..

He's not short that's for sure.

I'm not going to go into further details though as how it happened as last time I did something like that I ended up in "EF post of the day"

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has given birth in both(or one) of these hospitals (Bethanien Klinik, Hirslanden Klinik in Bagristl? What made you chose between them/ or the particular hospital? Any advise/comments will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Faye

I had a choice between these two clinics and chose Hirslanden. I don't remember why though :-) I was very happy with Hirslanden and can warmly recommend it.

Another thumbs up for Hirslanden. Courteous and attentive staff and they let me have a beer after busting a gut in the delivery suite.

Walked in and got immediate attention. Spoke English, 3 staff dealt with me, no waiting times. I could not have asked for better care.

I have experience with Hirslanden and can only but recommend it. The decision point was their neonatology department - so if need be they have it in house. Other hospitals would rely on the one at Unispital, which means a transport in a possible critical condition. Not that I was anticipating something during the birth, but one never knows.

Hello everybody,

This is my first time using this website. I have got a question and hope some of you can offer an answer:

My girlfriend and I are expecting a baby in March next year. We are not married and we intend to remain this way. I live in Switzerland on a B permit and basic health insurance. My girlfriend lives in E.U and she only wants to come here deliver the baby. Do any of you know if in this case she has to pay the expenses on her own? do the government pay anything at all? can my insurance cover anything even though we are not officially married?

I appreciate any kind of suggestions>>

Thank you
