        About the Department of Obstetrics at University Hospital Halle (Saale)

        The Department of Obstetrics at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) offers a full range of medical services in its area of specialization. The medical facility provides comprehensive prenatal diagnostics, pregnancy management, childbirth, and postnatal care in accordance with the highest standards of modern medicine. The department has the status of a Level I Perinatal Center, which indicates the exceptional competence of the healthcare facility. The department has a team of qualified obstetricians and nurses who are committed to providing quality medical services and care to expectant mothers. It has comfortable delivery rooms with the possibility of water birth; natural childbirth is preferred whenever possible, but cesarean section is performed when clinically indicated. The specialists in the department have extensive experience in managing high-risk pregnancies and multiple pregnancies. The medical facility has a pleasant atmosphere and the most comfortable conditions for safe childbirth. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Stephanie Wallwiener.

        Prenatal diagnostics is an integral part of the daily work of the department's physicians. Specialists perform ultrasound screening of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy, special ultrasound examinations according to the requirements of DEGUM II (German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine), non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), fetal echocardiography, fetal Doppler ultrasound, fetal magnetic resonance imaging, and preeclampsia screening. Preeclampsia is a serious complication that usually develops after the 20th week of pregnancy in the form of a sharp increase in blood pressure combined with proteinuria (the presence of protein in the urine). The department also performs invasive prenatal examinations such as chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, and cordocentesis for suspected chromosomal abnormalities, genetic diseases, and intrauterine infections. All diagnostic procedures are performed in compliance with current clinical protocols, with strict adherence to sterility and safety standards.

        The department's specialists are uniquely qualified to manage high-risk pregnancies. These are pregnancies in which the health of the mother, the fetus, or both is at increased risk of complications. In such cases, more careful monitoring and specialized care are required. Medical care is provided on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Women with high-risk pregnancies receive comprehensive medical care in the department, as the obstetricians work hand in hand with doctors from other departments at the University Hospital Halle (Saale). For example, women with diabetes mellitus are consulted by endocrinologists, and expectant mothers with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis are monitored by a rheumatologist and a neurologist.

        Childbirth takes place in comfortable birthing rooms equipped with everything necessary for a safe delivery. The rooms are decorated in bright colors and pleasant relaxing music is played. The priority of the department is natural childbirth, but if there is a risk to the health of the mother and/or the child, a decision is made to perform a cesarean section. In most cases, the department performs the Misgav Ladach cesarean section, a minimally traumatic technique. For pain relief during childbirth, the department's obstetricians offer homeopathy, acupuncture, massage, and warm relaxation baths.
