Soon you will have to make a detailed delivery plan together with your doctor.
Unfortunately, the expectant mother may not always participate in the planning of childbirth. As a rule, in most clinics, the obstetrician-gynecologist makes the sole decision, and all objections and suggestions are rarely taken into account.
However, when choosing the clinic where your baby will be born and the doctor who will help him to be born, you are, of course, already planning your ideal birth. In our deep conviction, in order for the birth to go the way you want, even with the adjustments and adjustments that life can make, first of all we need to hear the expectant mother and her wishes.
What do we mean by a birth plan and how it happens, – says the head of the EMC Perinatal Center, Prof. Natalia Kahn.
What should be in the delivery plan?
The first thing the doctor evaluates is the possibility of having a child through the natural birth canal. The size of the fetus, its location, pelvic features, and whether there are any burdened factors in the form of somatic or obstetric pathology are taken into account. For us, the most important thing is the health of the mother and her unborn baby, even minimal risks must be taken into account. If a woman in labor has strict indications for a planned cesarean section, the doctor will discuss in detail all the risks that may arise if she chooses a different method, and will tell you why an operative delivery is required. For example, with the full placenta previa the doctor adds measures to the plan to prevent possible risks.
In most cases, we are talking about childbirth through the natural birth canal or a planned cesarean section. Then we provide all the possibilities for the fantasy of future parents: whether they want to be together in the delivery room, whether the lights need to be dimmed, what kind of music should be played, perhaps a woman wants to call her doula to give birth or ease contractions in the water, whether her husband will be present in the operating room and will be the first to receive the baby.
When drawing up a birth plan, the doctor and the patient discuss the possibility of stimulating labor,the use of anesthesia, anesthesia after cesarean, the possibility of themselves cross the umbilical cord and more.
When is the optimal time for making a birth plan?
As a rule, at 36 weeks, so that the obstetrician-gynecologist has the most complete clinical picture based on the history of pregnancy and the collected examination data.
What should I do if everything doesn't go according to plan?
Of course, it can be. For example, during EP, situations may arise that cannot always be predicted in advance: acute fetal hypoxia, discoordination of labor, etc. In this case, the delivery plan may change. In EMS, in such situations, the delivery room turns into an operating room in a few seconds with all the equipment necessary for the operation, but at the same time, all the wishes of the woman, which can be realized during the operative delivery, will be taken into account.
We do everything to ensure that childbirth is as calm and safe as possible for a woman. Therefore, when making a birth plan, we always take into account any wishes of a woman, if they do not contradict the safety of the mother and baby.
You will feel safe and secure with us.
