Midwife delivery room Worms: gentle births without medical intervention!

Midwife delivery room Worms: gentle births without medical intervention!

At the Worms Clinic, the midwife delivery room (HKS) has seen the light of day since it opened in October 2024 and is very popular with expectant mothers. With 46 naturally born children in just one year, the first offer of this kind in Rhineland-Palatinate is a complete success. The HKS follows a care concept that enables women to have a natural and self-determined birth, while medical interventions are largely avoided.

How Worms.de reported, every birth at the HKS is cared for by experienced midwives. Expectant mothers can use the delivery room from the 37th week of pregnancy if their pregnancy progresses without complications. A preliminary consultation takes place between weeks 27 and 32 in which the parents' wishes and medical reasons are discussed. An additional level of security is provided by the nearby Level 1 Perinatal Center, which provides immediate medical attention in the event of an emergency.

Give birth comfortably and naturally

The midwife delivery room deliberately avoids many medical and medication measures. Instead, alternative methods such as massage, acupuncture, breathing techniques and aromatherapy are used to relieve pain. This allows women to experience their births in an appreciative and respectful atmosphere, which is crucial for the physical and mental well-being of our mothers. Health research highlights that women in HKS have a two and a half times higher chance of an intervention-free birth, which underlines the ongoing success of the concept.

With the “HKS+ – risk-audited midwife delivery room” certification in December 2024, the clinic has further increased the quality standard of its care. This quality assurance is carried out by the German Midwives' Association and the Society for Risk-Beratung mbH, which apply strict testing criteria to ensure the safety and success of births. According to Midwife Association.de All defined main criteria must be met 100%, which creates security for everyone involved.

Parents don't stay alone

The demand for preliminary discussions and appointments in the midwife delivery room is high, which indicates that many expectant parents have confidence in this model of birth support. Many pregnant women appreciate the care concept, which offers continuous 1:1 care during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. This ensures that women are not left alone and always receive support from their midwives.

Overall, the success of the delivery room shows that there is a trend towards more self-determination and natural birth experiences in society. With additional midwifery delivery rooms in cities such as Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Berlin, the HKS in Worms now offers an important alternative to conventional obstetric services that is worth keeping an eye on.
