At the moment when the baby is about to be born, expectant mothers trust qualified doctors with extensive and successful work experience, well-equipped hospitals, the opportunity to relax in comfortable individual boxes. Safe childbirth is a relatively new format of work in Belarus. Within the walls of the clinic, a special environment is created so that a woman can give birth to a healthy child as easily and painlessly as possible.
Approaches to safe childbirth
The birth of a child is a complex and responsible process that requires the spiritual courage of parents and the qualified help of specialists who are able to quickly solve problems as they arise. Safe childbirth is a collective concept, which, in addition to a close-knit team of medical personnel, also includes technical priorities and high standards of everyday service.
In Minsk, childbirth takes place taking into account:
- performing the delivery procedure;
- selecting the appropriate anesthesia – regional, local and general;
- performing an episiotomy (dissection of the perineum) as indicated;
- postponing the clamping of the umbilical cord;
- laying the newborn on the mother’s stomach.
Safe childbirth is natural, with minimal interference in the process of giving birth to a child. They can be horizontal and vertical, take place in a comfortable bed or in a special bathroom, with music or even dancing. If the cost of childbirth is not acute – you can use the services of a doula-an assistant to a woman in labor. By the way, cesarean section is an extreme type of birth, prescribed only in special cases. However, it is possible to give birth to a long-awaited child in a natural way even after childbirth.
How are safe births
A full team of specialists, partnership in the relationship of a pregnant woman and a doctor, free behavior of a woman during the birth process-all this helps to give birth to a child with minimal complications and medical intervention.
The safe childbirth itself takes place in the following stages:
- latency – preparation of the pregnant woman’s body for the birth process;
- activation – initiation of labor;
- stimulation – the beginning of uterine contraction, opening of her cervix, the birth of a child and placenta;
- involution – the recovery process of the maternity hospital, the activation of the mammary glands for natural feeding.
Then there is a restoration of reproduction and careful monitoring of the state of health of the woman in labor for 6-8 weeks after the birth of the child.
To learn more about where safe childbirth takes place and how much it costs, you can have an individual consultation with a gynecologist and a reproductologist.
