Giving birth in Vaud area

Hi all,

I moved to Switzerland a month ago and will be giving birth in June 2012. This will be my first child so I am feeling a bit gittery anyway, in addition to a new country and lack of fench language skills .

If anyone would be kind enough to recommend good hospitals in the area, and a english speaking doctor I could contact it'd be much appreciated. I have spent a few comfy hours on he couch reading through this forum, and gather that options on pain relief change from hospital to hospital here in Switzerland? I am hoping for one where all pain relief measures are provided.

Many thanks!

In the time our two kids were born in the Clinique Montchoisi, Lausanne, but it no longer does childbirths.

My wife had Dr. Janacek and he is tops. I think he can speak English, and he is a top researcher in this field. He is located right below Clinique Montchoisi.

Hi Tim,

Many thanks for your reply, it seems most people on this forum are in the German speaking part!

I have heard this doctors name mentioned before, I will certainly look him up.

All the best,

Beata

Hi Beatec

Dr. Janacek is a very kind person too. And quite professional, but tres sympa aussi .
