Zurich
December 2005
I went to a private hospital that was recommended to me through my husband's work. His insurance would only pay for a semi-private room, but for a 100CHF a day we were able to upgrade to a private room. You are allowed 10 days in the hospital and a mid-wife to come to your home if you leave before that. The hospital was like a hotel and every shift had at least one English speaking nurse on duty. It was a lovely stay, I would highly recommend the Swiss way to anyone who is pregnant.

Recommendation of a Swiss citizen helping with our move. You can also contact a hospital and get a list of the doctors affiliated with them. We contacted the ob/gyn and a pediatrician via email and set up appointments before we arrived. They doctors we see use perfect English. My ob/gyn did a beautiful job on my c-section scar - my previous scar was pretty awful and he did an amazing job on making it almost invisible.
Nothing different - do your homework and know what you want. They are very accommodating unless there is an emergency.
Get everything set up ahead of time in case there are any complications. The language barrier is not really a problem. If you are pregnant when you move, make sure to bring baby items as these things are really expensive in Switzerland.
