“THEY INSIST ON VAGINAL
DELIVERY”
Op. Dr. Necla Öztürk said, “As our hospital, we have been providing this service for 10 years. The Pregnant School is a place to prepare mothers for the birth process. Mothers learn the importance of normal birth, the risks of cesarean section, baby care and umbilical dressing. Very nice service. In the first 24 weeks, they receive service in the Public Health Unit. After the 24th week, they should reinforce this with the practical training they received here. These trainings are free, and we even have gifts after leaving the hospital. We also train fathers or people who will be accompanying them. Our patients, with this education, know what birth is. They are not afraid, they are very brave. They insist on normal birth, even if it is medically required cesarean section. “I want to give birth normally. Take me to cesarean in the last stage” they say. If the health of the baby and the mother is not at risk, the number of pregnant women who want to have a normal birth has increased considerably thanks to these trainings”
MOTHER-FRIENDLY HOSPITAL IN
HOTEL COMFORT.
Öztürk also stated that they are a mother-friendly hospital; A very good project of our Ministry of Health; Mother Friendly Hospital; births in single rooms in the comfort of a hotel. A service that is not even available in many private hospitals. We have very good rooms. They can take a bath whenever they want. We have birthing beds, beds that can turn into a delivery table during delivery. They suffer child-birth pains, they give birth there and are discharged from there again, and they never leave with their babies.
Baby Friendly is also a kind of service that is not fed with formula, for which breast milk is important. Previously, cesarean section was popular, now normal birth is about to be popular. Mother-Friendly and Baby-Friendly trainings have contributed a lot to this. I provide staff training for mother-friendly candidate hospitals. As the staff becomes more conscious about the birth, they are more ready for the situation.
“UNFORTUNATELY WE CANNOT ACCEPT EVERY PREGNANCY FOR WATER BIRTH”
We have had 5 water births so far. Our numbers will increase each passing day. There are certain criteria, unfortunately, we cannot accept every pregnant woman for water birth. Her amnion mai will not come, she will not have infection, so if she meets the criteria, we can do it, "she said.
After the speeches, the VTR, which was prepared in the event specially prepared for the 10th anniversary of the Pregnant School, was shown to the participants. After VTR, which was watched with great admiration, training participation certificates and gifts (hospital baby set) were presented to expectant mothers who participated in Pregnant School trainings and father candidates who were their great supporters in this process.
