Is it possible to take a fitness ball for childbirth, so that you can give birth faster?

Dear Ulyana! We have fitness balls in the maternity hospitals. It is unlikely that your own is any special.

Do they warn you about the discharge in advance or did you look at it in the morning and have already been discharged in the evening?

Dear Ulyana!
We usually discharge maternity patients on the 4th day after delivery. On the eve of discharge, we warn you, of course. But you need to understand that the final issue of discharge is decided only on the day of discharge, after the morning round, together with obstetricians-gynecologists and neonatologists. Therefore, there are also cases when the discharge was planned, but then was postponed due to the appearance of any new data regarding the health of the mother or newborn.
Check - out is carried out 7 days a week, usually in the period 12:00-16:00.

They say that the first day after giving birth, you can eat and drink whatever you want - and this will not affect the milk in any way. Can I have champagne with chocolates?

Dear Ulyana!
Eating and drinking whatever you want is the wrong way to go in any period of life, not just after giving birth. And in the postpartum period, even more so: the food should be healthy, contain the necessary components for recovery after childbirth and high-quality breastfeeding, do not cause allergies in the child. Of course, alcohol is absolutely contraindicated. And chocolate can cause allergies in the baby receiving your breast milk.

A dummy. Do I need to take it with me to the hospital? And in general, is it worth buying until the baby is born - there is now such a variety of them, you may need some special one.

Dear Ulyana!
Our obstetric hospital since 2014. It has the honorary title of the WHO "Child-friendly Hospital". We promote breastfeeding. Therefore, we do not recommend using" pacifiers " to anyone.

When you are lying with the baby in the postpartum room and there are no neighbors, who should you leave the baby to go to the toilet or shower? Wait for someone to come to you, or are there nannies there? What kind of gratitude is given to nannies for such a service?

Dear Alyona!
If you will be lying in a completely separate single room after delivery, then, during your temporary absence, the child can be looked after by a pediatric nurse or a midwife of the postpartum department. And in the presence of neighbors, the option with the medical staff is still better.
We don't have any nannies. And nurses do not deal with children in any case. You don't have to wait long for anyone. Medical staff posts next to the wards, in addition, each ward has a call button for medical staff.

For partner births, it is written to take a change of clothes for your husband - it should be like home clothes (sportswear, shorts) or just clean jeans?

Dear Ulyana! Clothing for the presence of a partner at birth should be light, made of "breathable" fabric (in the delivery room it is warm), comfortable and clean. For example, a cotton shirt, thin trousers, a change of shoes on your feet. There should be no woolen wool, fleecy fabrics. In addition to these clothes, it is advisable to buy a disposable medical suit made of spandex (a shirt and trousers or a robe, shoe covers, a cap and a mask) at the pharmacy - this is worn on top of a change of clothes.

At the birth, if we go by ambulance, do we dress decently or immediately in a nightgown and a bathrobe? In the underpants-a pad (if the water is already draining) or a rag?

Dear Ulyana!
We hope that this is an axiom for our patients: we must always and everywhere behave decently. You do not need to put on a robe and a shirt at once. The shirt should be with you, a bathrobe for childbirth will not be useful at all. You change clothes in the maternity hospital. The lining is ordinary from the pharmacy, of the appropriate size and class of absorption.

Hello! Tell me, do you have scheduled COP on weekends? I was told to come to you on April 24 (Saturday). Will I get a COP on this day or will it be rescheduled for Monday?

Dear Lyudmila!
There may have been some mistake. We don't have scheduled surgeries on weekends. In addition, if your last name matches the name of your email address, then you are generally not recorded in our operational plan in April. Call 31-45-97 or 31-45-96 (ask Mikhail Yevgenyevich), we will solve this problem.

Hello, please tell me the deadline is at the end of July -beginning of August, according to the indications for childbirth to you in the perinatal, and you will just be closed for washing, then what happens?to the maternity hospital on Papa's?

Dear Svetlana!
Preliminary terms of closing of GUZ "LOPTS" for preventive sanitation by order of the RCD in 2021 - 26.07.21 - 16.08.21 No...
1. At the moment, it is difficult to say whether we will close and when exactly: too much depends on the development of the epidemiological situation for coronavirus infection.
2. If we close, the closure will be partial: we will still accept the most difficult cases (including early preterm birth).
We apologize for the lack of accurate information, we understand that in your situation it is better to calmly decide in advance. But not everything depends on us, we will have to wait for now. If you do not get to us, then the choice of an obstetric hospital to which you will be referred depends on the specific reasons for classifying your pregnancy as a high-risk group.

Hello, please tell me how the discharge is going ( will it be possible to transfer things at the discharge so that mom will put herself in order?)

Dear Svetlana!
Indeed, usually on the day of discharge from the hospital, relatives pass the necessary things for the mother and child through the Help Desk. Therefore, do not take too many things with you at once when entering the birth.
