I did not receive any medication in my epidural, and the doctor mumbled something to the effect of "no pain, no gain". I was furious and had to end up having a c-section emergency and then they knocked me totally out, I woke up to a slap on the face by the nurse (instead of a pinch on the cheek), she said AUFWACHEN and I didn't have enough energy to slap her back. So, it was very stressful birth. They keep you in the hospital for 2 weeks after a c-sec. And for a normal delivery, its about 3-4 days. LKH Graz....
Expats interested in expat health insurance should take a minute to get a quote from our trusted expat health insurance partner, CIGNA.
I had a private female doctor who was recommended by a relative of my husbands, but when I had probs, she sent me straight to the LKH (hospital) for all my furthur checkups. I was supposed to deliver in a private clinic with a midwife, but it all changed when I had a few probs.
Yes. I would talk to the anthesiologist BEFORE the delivery, and would make sure that I was heard. I would ask for English speaking people but good luck.
I would suggest she find a good midwife, and cover all the bases and communicate exactly all her options so that everything is understood before the labor begins. I would have her tour the hospital, ask questions etc..
