Expectant mothers in Zabaikal are receiving childbirth preparations at a specialized school
Elena Suyloeva, a senior midwife, emphasizes the importance of understanding childbirth as a natural physiological process. The MalyshOK childbirth preparation school, operating for over a decade in the Zabaykalsky Regional Perinatal Center, shares this perspective.
The MalyshOK childbirth preparation program is designed to help expectant mothers prepare for both the physical and emotional aspects of childbirth. The program consists of ten sessions, divided into two blocks: one for preparing for childbirth and one for the postpartum period.
Expectant mothers gain knowledge about recovering their health after delivery and learn practical skills such as bathing their baby, breastfeeding, and changing diapers correctly. They also practice breathing techniques and find comfortable positions for giving birth.
Preparing for childbirth both physically and emotionally can make the process as comfortable as possible. Understanding childbirth as a natural process can help reduce fear and complications during labor. Fear can block the production of oxytocin, the main hormone of labor, and preparation can help alleviate this.
The importance of preparing for childbirth emotionally is highlighted to ensure a smoother labor process. The program offers classes for expectant mothers to practice communicating with their baby during pregnancy, which can foster a strong bond between mother and child.
The MalyshOK childbirth preparation school is run by the regional Ministry of Health and the perinatal center's website provides information on how to register for the childbirth preparation classes.
The registration process typically involves contacting the center, providing personal information, scheduling enrollment, attending an initial meeting or consultation, completing necessary documentation, and finally, participation in the classes. However, procedures may vary or be updated, so it is best to directly contact the Zabaykalsky Regional Perinatal Center or visit their official website for the most accurate and current registration details.
By taking part in the MalyshOK childbirth preparation school, expectant mothers can feel more confident and prepared for the journey ahead, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable childbirth experience.
The MalyshOK childbirth preparation program delves into aspects of education-and-self-development, focusing on science, health-and-wellness, and learning for expectant mothers. The program equips them with knowledge and skills to navigate the physical and emotional challenges of childbirth.
Equipped with practical skills such as bathing, breastfeeding, and diaper-changing, as well as understanding childbirth as a natural physiological process, expectant mothers prepare for a more comfortable and confident childbirth experience.
