Hello, I live in Zürich and I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and I have many questions, especially regarding the timeline. I just did my first visit with the gynecologist and everything looks good. When should I start taking care of the following things: finding a midwife? I will probably choose to have a planned C-section, does the midwife assist to c-sections as well? Should I look for a midwife only for the postpartum? Should I wait for the end of the first trimester or should I start immediately? choosing the hospital. When do you start visiting the hospitals and choosing one? pelvic floor rehabilitation, have you done it before birth as well as prevention? Kita: I’ve read that it’s normal to have a waiting period of 9-12 months to get a spot in a Kita, have you contacted the Kita while you were still pregnant? my due date should be end of September 2026. Anyone else planning to give birth in that period? I’m coming from Italy so I would love to find other future moms speaking Italian, English works as well. 😊 I also have the Hospital top liberty complementary insurance by Sanitas, did any of you had it and take advantage of it during pregnancy? Any other advice is more than welcome! Thank you in advance! ❤️ submitted by /u/Asleep_Negotiation27
