Information for pregnant women

First visit

If you are due to give birth from 1 January 2024, you no longer need to reserve a place in advance (there is no need for so-called birth registration).

However, we need to know some important information earlier than immediately before the birth. That's why we want to invite you to the so-called "first visit". It is a short administrative meeting with the midwife, which you can fully use for your questions about childbirth, stay in the maternity hospital, etc. The ideal time for the first visit is around the 20th week of pregnancy. You can book your first visit via webdiary. Reservation of the date is mandatory. If you have difficulties ordering the first visit via the web diary, contact our support at the e-mail address apolinar-ppp@vfn.cz.

The first visit takes place face-to-face at the pregnancy clinic (Apolinařská 18, Prague 2, 1st floor on the right), every working day from approx. 3:50 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We are currently preparing a virtual "first visit" for you via the Microsoft Teams or Zoom video conference system.

If a single or divorced mother wishes, after agreement with the child's father, for the child to have a surname after his father, a paternity certificate must be attached. Before the birth, he will issue you with a register at the OU (e.g. at your place of residence, in the presence of both future parents - bring the documents with you). Documents must be originals or notarized copies. All the above-mentioned documents will be requested from you by the contact officer with the birth registry, who will visit you after the birth during your stay in the maternity hospital. On the basis of these documents, they will secure the child's birth certificate and birth number on the register of the Municipal Office for Prague 2.
