Obstetrics in Zurich

Obstetrics involves the holistic care provided by your gynecologist throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. The goal is to protect the health of mother and child, ensure a safe delivery, and support a healthy start to this new chapter. At my gynecology practice, Eva Gyn in Zurich, I offer comprehensive services that include both medical care and emotional support.

Obstetric examinations include regular prenatal check-ups such as blood pressure measurements, blood and urine tests, and modern ultrasound screenings to monitor the baby’s growth and development. These are supplemented by prenatal diagnostics such as First Trimester Screening and nuchal translucency measurement. These tests help identify potential risks early and ensure optimal care—even in high-risk pregnancies. As your experienced gynecologist, I will guide you through this important time with empathy and expertise.

At the Eva Gyn gynecology practice in Zurich, I perform a wide range of prenatal examinations to provide optimal support during your pregnancy. Regular ultrasound checks are especially important to monitor your baby’s growth, position, and placental function. These prenatal methods help detect any abnormalities or developmental issues early.

I also offer specialized prenatal diagnostics, including First Trimester Screening, which can detect chromosomal disorders like Trisomy 21 through ultrasound and blood tests. Organ screening in the second trimester—an advanced ultrasound examination—is another essential diagnostic measure. During this, I check that all of your baby’s organs are developing appropriately and that the placenta is providing adequate nourishment.

Overview of prenatal examinations during pregnancy:

• Detection of infections, anemia, and metabolic disorders via blood tests
• Monitoring high-risk pregnancies with additional check-ups
• First Trimester Screening with nuchal translucency measurement, ultrasound, and blood tests
• Organ screening/detailed ultrasound in the second trimester
• Genetic counseling related to prenatal diagnostics
• Regular ultrasound exams, optionally in 3D/4D
• Color Doppler sonography to assess maternal and fetal vessels
• Preeclampsia screening for early diagnosis and treatment

Care does not end after childbirth at my gynecology practice—postnatal care is a key part of obstetrics to ensure the mother’s physical and emotional recovery. Follow-up appointments include checking uterine regression, healing after a cesarean or perineal tear, and evaluating the pelvic floor. I also support you with breastfeeding and offer help with any breastfeeding difficulties.

At Eva Gyn, you can also benefit from additional treatments such as pelvic floor training or aesthetic procedures. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and microneedling can help reduce stretch marks or skin changes. This holistic approach ensures that you feel fully supported and prevents long-term issues such as pain or lactation problems.

Obstetric care is essential to monitor the health of both mother and baby and to detect any risks early. Pregnancy complications can arise that might go unnoticed without regular check-ups. At each appointment, I monitor your vital signs and perform important tests to detect conditions such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, HELLP syndrome, or growth delays in your baby at an early stage.

This is especially crucial in high-risk pregnancies, which may involve complications like placenta praevia or a history of heavy bleeding (atonic hemorrhage) after miscarriages or abortions. Other risk factors include multiple pregnancies, pre-existing medical conditions, or advanced maternal age. Through close monitoring at my practice, we ensure that both you and your baby receive the best possible care and that complications are managed promptly.

Several conditions may arise during pregnancy that affect both the mother and the baby. One of the most common is preeclampsia, characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. Without treatment, it can lead to serious complications. Thanks to modern diagnostics in my gynecology practice, I can detect and treat preeclampsia early.

Another possible condition is gestational diabetes, marked by elevated blood sugar levels. At Eva Gyn, I offer glucose tests to detect this metabolic disorder early. Other risks include infections, anemia, or placental problems, all of which require regular monitoring—particularly in high-risk pregnancies—to ensure optimal care and minimize risks.

Ideally, your first appointment with your gynecologist in Zurich should be between the 6th and 8th week of pregnancy. During this visit, I confirm the pregnancy, perform an initial ultrasound, and discuss the next steps with you. Afterwards, check-ups are scheduled every four weeks at Eva Gyn.

In the final trimester, the frequency increases, depending on your needs and the medical indication. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, we will schedule additional appointments to ensure thorough monitoring of you and your baby. These regular visits give you peace of mind and ensure you’re well-supported at every stage.

Ultrasound scans are a key component of prenatal care. They allow us to monitor your baby’s growth and development in detail. Using high-tech ultrasound technology in my gynecology practice, I can assess your baby’s position, amniotic fluid levels, and placental function.

I also offer advanced imaging such as targeted ultrasound and 3D/4D scans. These not only help identify potential abnormalities but also offer you memorable moments of seeing your baby before birth. Especially in high-risk pregnancies, these technologies allow for more intensive monitoring and optimal fetal care.

If a routine examination reveals a problem, I will discuss the findings with you in detail and explain the next steps. At Eva Gyn, I can perform further tests or specialist diagnostics to better assess the situation. My highest priority is the health of both mother and baby—identifying risks early and providing the best possible care throughout your pregnancy.
