Midwife consultation – because every question matters
As part of the Parent–Child Health Passport (Eltern-Kind-Pass), you can take advantage of a free midwife consultation between week 17+0 and week 21+6 of pregnancy. Topics may include choosing the place of birth, nutrition and physical activity during pregnancy, as well as information on healthy and preventive behaviour.
The costs of the midwife consultation are covered by all Austrian health insurance funds. This service is an additional offer to the existing Parent-Child Health Passport check-ups and cannot provide information about the course of the pregnancy or about your baby.
