"القابلة الخاصة بي" في مالمو

Min barnmorska Malmö, My Midwife Malmö, is a care model for anyone who is pregnant, lives in the city of Malmö and is in particular need of security and support during pregnancy, childbirth and aftercare.

Before

My Midwife is being introduced at Skåne University Hospital in Malmö as a three-year project. The care model is aimed at women who:

• are afraid of giving birth
• are anxious or have concerns
• do not speak Swedish or English and are having their first child in Sweden (they may have given birth in another country)

Primary care antenatal clinics bear the main responsibility for pregnant women until the 20th week of pregnancy. You can register at any antenatal clinic, public or private.

There are different ways to access the care model if you belong to any of the target groups. BB My Midwife Malmö makes the decision on whether you can be included.

Via your antenatal clinic

You and your midwife can talk about what you need and whether you are interested in accessing the care model. Your midwife can send a referral to BB My Midwife Malmö if you belong to any of the target groups.

Own care request

If you belong to any of the target groups, you can send a request yourself using what is known as an Egen vårdbegäran, or self-referral for care, on 1177.se. You can also make a self-referral for care by calling BB My Midwife Malmö on 0771-111 888, option My Midwife.

How it works

You will have the same midwife before, during and after giving birth. Your midwife is part of a team of midwives. This team includes 4 or 5 other midwives, and you will see them all during your pregnancy.

You and your midwife and the midwives in the team will have the opportunity to get to know one another and build up a relationship. This can give you peace of mind and ensure you have greater involvement in the entire care chain.

Having positive experiences of pregnancy and childbirth increases the chances of getting off to a good start with parenthood. It may also have an impact on breastfeeding and your mental health.

During

All care is provided by BB My Midwife Malmö at Skåne University Hospital from the 20th week of your pregnancy. This involves:

• pregnancy visits
• antenatal classes
• counselling if you are afraid of giving birth
• early maternity care
• maternity care
• aftercare with BB hemma (maternity care at home)
• follow-up after giving birth.

You will visit the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Jan Waldenströms gata 47 in Malmö.  You will also be offered home visits or online meetings. You can phone BB My Midwife at any time of the day or night if you need to.

You will give birth at the maternity department in Malmö. Your midwife, or a member of the team you have met, will take care of you and always be on hand to provide you with support. 

After your baby is born, you will receive the aftercare that you and your baby need. You will be offered maternity care at home in the first week if you and the baby are well after the birth.
