Comfortable and natural water birth in a modern clinic

Recently, there has been a growing interest in water birth and natural childbirth without unnecessary medical interventions. In response to this, a water birth room was opened at the clinic in September last year, and the first babies have already been born there.

Natural childbirth

The clinic has ensured that the room is equipped with everything necessary, while also creating a space where the expectant mother can feel максимально comfortable and, if desired, stay with her partner throughout the entire labor process.

The birth room includes:

  1. Waiting and postpartum observation room
  2. Delivery room with a birth pool and delivery chair
  3. A small kitchen area
  4. Shower and toilet

Labor waiting room

Natural water birth

Births in this department take place in a specially equipped room under the guidance of an experienced midwife who has undergone special training. Such births help reduce stress for the expectant mother. The environment is максимально close to home comfort, allowing labor to proceed calmly and naturally.

The expectant mother may spend only part of labor in the pool, benefiting from the relaxing effect of water during the active phase, then leave the water and give birth on a delivery chair or in another comfortable position (for example, squatting).

Water birth

If desired, the baby can also be born in the water. In addition, other natural relaxation techniques are used during labor to reduce sensitivity to uterine contractions: active movement, Pilates, relaxation music, aromatherapy, and massage.

In the water birth room, accompanying the expectant mother during this special moment of childbirth, we create the best possible conditions for the most natural and comfortable birth experience.

I organize births in a specially equipped area that includes a waiting and recovery room, a delivery room with a birth pool and chair, as well as additional amenities. The conditions are as close to home comfort as possible.

Water helps to relax, reduces stress, and decreases sensitivity to contractions. Combined with a calm and gentle environment, it makes the birth process more peaceful and natural.
