The maternity wards of Swiss clinics are equipped with high-quality modern equipment for natural childbirth. In the process of childbirth, a husband may be next to the woman in labor.
In Switzerland, obstetric gels are used to relieve pain. The film formed in the birth canal simplifies the passage of the child, shortens the process of childbirth and makes it less traumatic.
The woman in labor can control the rate and amount of Remifentanil pain medication by herself using a small handheld device.
Women are given the opportunity to choose a comfortable position for childbirth. As a rule, being in an upright position, the expectant mother tolerates the process of childbirth more easily. It is known that the method of "water birth" is used to reduce pain and psychological stress.

If there are certain indications, health problems, or at the request of the woman in labor, doctors can perform a caesarean section. With this intervention, the risk of birth injuries in a child is reduced; women avoid possible ruptures, displacement of the pelvic bones and other anatomical changes in the pelvic organs.
A planned caesarean section is scheduled, as a rule, at the 38th week. It uses local epidural anesthesia, which makes childbirth painless and allows the woman to rest between contractions.
A possible reason for elective surgery may be congenital malformations of the fetus, such as Spina bifida. Swiss neurosurgeons were among the first in the world to perform intrauterine surgical interventions using intraoperative navigation systems.

If during natural childbirth the life and health of the mother or child are at risk, doctors resort to an unscheduled caesarean section. Before this, an additional examination is carried out by a team of obstetricians-gynecologists, the woman is told about the course of the operation.
Caesarean section lasts no more than 10 minutes. Next, doctors sew up an incision in the abdominal wall. Swiss clinics employ highly qualified surgeons; thanks to their experience and skill, the scar from a caesarean section is subsequently almost invisible.
