Maternity couch new at Apolinář
The birthing center of the Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Neonatology of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of the UK and VFN has equipped one of the delivery rooms with a special birthing couch, which provides women in labor with great variability of positions and overall increases the chance of an uncomplicated, relaxed birth. The clinic purchased a maternity couch thanks to the Propolis33 Foundation and the Apolinář Foundation. "The birthing couch naturally expands the possibilities of modern birthing care in our Birthing Center. Active changes of positions during childbirth support functional changes in the pelvis, which increases the chance of its smooth progress. Women in labor can relax better on the delivery couch, and in addition, attendants and midwives are in the immediate vicinity," complements doc. MD Michal Koucký, Ph.D., head of the perinatology center of the Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Neonatology of the 1st Faculty of Medicine, UK and VFN. The maternity hospital at Apolinář not only supports an active natural birth, it also offers the opportunity to spend time after the birth in the family room, choose your own midwife or use herbal infusions and aromatherapy during the birth.
