Department of Pathology
If you were sent in advance to the maternity hospital No. 8 (Dinamo metro station), then there are reasons for this. The pathology department is practically no different from any other department in a regular hospital. Repair, of course, is desirable, but without it everything is not so bad. Sufficiently modern plumbing and equipment of the wards, according to the reviews of expectant mothers lying there, for a "four".
Boxes consist of two chambers. There are both doubles and singles. In addition to the bed, each room has a bedside table, a table and a chair. There are TVs in some rooms. There is a shared TV in the hallway. Toilet and shower are separate, one for each block. That is, it turns out one bathroom for two or four people. This is quite enough, and this layout is in line with the regulations.
A very sensitive minus, also according to the reviews of expectant mothers, is the lack of any shelves in the shower. Bath accessories have to be left either on the floor or on the tiled sides of the shower. But leaning over them during a long pregnancy is tantamount to acrobatics. Let's hope it's soonchange.
Birthing room. Location x
The very moment when you are in labor or it's time for your caesarean section, you are brought or taken to the delivery room.
Blocks for women in labor are separate. Each delivery room has one delivery chair, a baby table and a bed. There is an individual shower that can be taken at the very beginning of childbirth, as well as a toilet and bidet. There are large windows in the walls between the halls, through which you can see what is happening in the neighboring block. This is made exclusively for doctors. You don’t have to worry that someone will spy on you at such an intimate moment. Believe me, the woman in labor from the next block is not up to you.
If you give birth together with your husband, then the rodblock will be with a closed window or without it at all.
Many women in labor are connected to a CTG machine. Some write that lying with a CTG sensor on the stomach is more difficult to endure contractions. In this case, you can ask the doctor or midwife to remove the transducer and allow you to walk around. If there are no contraindications, you will definitely be met halfway.
Since the 8th maternity hospital (m. "Dynamo") is quite popular and is a perinatal center, there are always a lot of people giving birth there. Do not expect that there will always be someone from the medical staff nearby. They will visit you regularly and find out how you are doing. If you need anything, just call a nurse or a doctor. Unfortunately or fortunately, this is a feature of almost all maternity hospitals in our country. If you want someone to be around all the time, take your husband with you.
The birth of your baby. Moment X
Immediately after the birth of the baby, they put it on your chest so that he can smell his mother's scent and a special relationship is established between you. After it is transferred to the changing table, where all the necessary procedures are performed, and again returned to you. Nurses most often control the flow of colostrum, press on the nipple and put the baby to the breast. With the baby on your chest, you will lie in the rodblock for another 1.5-2 hours. This is what happens after a natural birth.
If you are giving birth by caesarean section, or you have had a very difficult delivery and you feel unwell, the baby will be taken to the children's ward. But before that, he will definitely be put on his mother for at least a few seconds. If you had a partner birth, the child can be given to the father in the arms.
Most of the reviews about the birth process in the eighth maternity hospital are positive. The staff is responsive and positive, even if it's the end of the shift or a holiday. Of course, there are negative aspects. And you can find negative reviews about doctors and their bad behavior during childbirth. But do not forget that a lot depends on how we behave ourselves.
Postpartum ward
After the baby is born, you are transferred to the postpartum ward. The filling of the wards differs from the pathology department by the presence of a changing table and a sink in each ward, as well as a special baby crib (couveuse). Superior single paid rooms have nightlights and a TV.
The child may betogether with you or in the children's department, which is located on the same floor as the postpartum. Depending on the location of the block, you can hear the babies crying in the children's ward.
According to indications or by paid agreement, you can leave the child with you only during the daytime. At night, the baby can move away from mom to let her sleep and recuperate faster.
Supplementary feeding is given only if the mother does not have milk or if she refuses to feed. Many mothers note that the staff does not show or teach proper grip and attachment to the breast. Therefore, if there are any difficulties or you are not confident in yourself, ask for help at the post. You will not be denied training, but you will not be the first to be offered.
In the morning, the procedure for measuring temperature with an ordinary thermometer is obligatory, it must be taken to the post. If your child is given formula, bottles must be brought and collected.
Meals at the hospital
The food in the hospital is excellent. According to the reviews of everyone who was there, the food is delicious, and it is enough for both pregnant and lactating women. The difference in nutrition between the pathology department and the postpartum department is small. In the pathology department, food is distributed to the wards, and in the postpartum, plates are prohibited in the ward. Eating - in the common dining room, at a strictly allotted time. You can drink tea or have a snack in your room.
And finally, an extract
After all the tests for the baby and mother, the doctors of the children's department and the postpartummust approve your statement. To speed up this process, mothers write, you need to run a little. The doctors of each department at the daily examination tell you all the information about the discharge, and not to each other. To combine this information, go to the post. If you are not in a hurry, relax and, as they say, have fun.
According to tradition, the 8th maternity hospital at Dynamo gives gifts to every mother. These are advertising brochures, informative baby care books, samples of baby cosmetics and several diapers. On behalf of the mayor, the baby is given a suit and a diaper. For your gift, you can go to the post to the nurse.
When you leave maternity hospital No. 8 ("Dynamo",) a photo for memory, of course, will be very appropriate. There is almost always a photographer and videographer in the maternity hospital. According to the reviews of women, their services are expensive. A few minutes of video and a dozen photos will cost you at least 6-7 thousand rubles. At the same time, some mothers note that the quality of services does not correspond to their cost. We recommend that you take care of the photographer or video filming yourself. Consider this moment in advance if you want to get great pictures for a long memory.
We wish you all good he alth and easy delivery!
