Are you expecting a baby and looking for a midwife who can support you and your family at home after the birth? Or perhaps you would like to benefit from seeing a midwife while you are still pregnant? Familystart can help you find a midwife for home visits before and after birth.
Interpreters are available to assist non-German-speaking families.
If your baby is born in the University Hospital Basel’s Women’s Clinic or Bethesda Hospital, booking a midwife through us is free of charge. Familystart guarantees that a midwife will be available to support you when you get home with your baby after giving birth. This guarantee applies to all of Basel-Stadt and Baselland.
If your child is born in a different clinic, we charge a service fee for booking a midwife (CHF 50) and cannot provide a care guarantee.
Alternatively, you can search for a midwife directly via the Basel Association of Midwives: www.baslerhebamme.ch
