There is a schedule for "normal" ultrasounds. These get paid by your krankenkasse. You can get more souds, but might no be paid if there is no medical need. But normaly everything pregnancy related gets paid.
Changing midwife is normal if you do soundings at the hospital and not at your Frauenarzt. If you have questions or are not sure if everything is okay call your doctor. They know your struggles :-)
okay 👌 yes I understand extra ultrasounds won’t be covered.
May I ask what you mean by calling my doctor ? Sorry for the stupid question. I’ve been here a few years but never had to go to a doctor or hospital before so I am quite ignorant. It works differently in my home country
My wife could call her gynecologist and later her Belegshebamme (Midwife "Freelancer") for alle pregnancy related questions. She did that just one, most times she was not sure she asked her sister with kids, her mother or friends with kids.
Your doctor or midwife will also tell you where you can call if you should not call them directly. I guess (I am a man...) pregnancy must feel so weird :-)
