The families of the house: the pros and cons


The families of the house: the pros and consChildbirth is the most important process in the life of both women and children. How they will be, depends on the perception of mothers themselves as women and the life of her child. Childbirth can cause injury to life, or, conversely, to give good health.


In the pursuit of a comfortable delivery addressed forgotten method of birth home. The woman did not need to fuss, "to be ashamed" before medical personnel, sniff hospital alcohol: invited midwife, lit candles, put the music and now the air is ringing ringing "ua". What is not perfect? However, it is not always so smooth, convinced opponents this way we have children, they consider it too risky. We found that entices home birth the first and frightened by the second.





Supporters


Natalia Galitsin, perinatal psychologist of the center of the "World family": "Supporter of home birth I was, based on personal experience - after because of the mistakes of doctors lost in the hospital two children (second and third) in late pregnancy. Herself a psychologist by training, I took responsibility for the events, knowing that everything is either for something or for something.




The whole pregnancy I have considered the possibility of giving birth at home and at 26 weeks told my husband that going to give birth at home. Then I have compiled a list of why I want to give birth at home. For example, I didn't want during examinations or shaving there were strangers (what happened) - this confuses me, and from stress and childbirth can go as something is wrong. I didn't want the doctors scared me another terrible predictions, what they love to do (for example, when the first pregnancy I was told that the child is big and I don't face myself, and I am well bore), it is also stress. So I set myself the task of choosing a home midwife and started calling around to friends and courses to prepare for childbirth. And such person is found.




My birth went fine, there was a feeling of this Ordinance. Are those who believe that birth is only a few hours of life. No, give birth very much a sense of victory and pride for your whole life".




Tamara Gilowska, instructor in preparation for natural childbirth, the head of "Family club": "I got pregnant quite late - at the age of 33. I immediately hung the label of "starorodyaschaya", discovered several pathologies and put at risk. Option childbirth was one - elective caesarean. All my entreaties that I feel pretty and I am in wonderful shape, nor to no avail. Therefore, and not finding compromise with the doctors, I began to think of home delivery.




I tried to answer his questions, what I fear and what I can help in the hospital. All things considered, I decided to take the responsibility. The birth of a son in the home, in a warm bath and in the presence of the husband turned out to be the brightest holiday for our family. Everything was easy and wonderful. I had the opportunity to move and take a comfortable pose for me. There was no need to do an enema and shaving.




Of course, birth is the process unpredictable individual, and the responsibility lies on the shoulders of parents. But the heart does not disappoint. Listen to yourself: if you are absolutely sure that everything is in order, then so be it, and if in doubt, go to give birth in the maternity hospital".




Sergei Voitovich, Ph.D., assistant Professor of physiology Vinnitsa medical Institute: "When pregnant my wife, we are faced with a complete lack of understanding of doctors and "diagnoses" that they like to put. Then I began to diligently study the literature in obstetrics and realized that we can handle themselves, without the assistance of medical personnel. Wife supported my desire to give birth at home. We did not find a home midwife and decided that I can cope with this role. In addition, we together went on courses to prepare for childbirth. I really wanted to take her firstborn son, save the mystery of this process. But along with this, we warned the ambulance crew and duty of neonatology at the hospital.




Everything went fine and the medical help we did not need. We waited for the maximum dilation of the cervix and without breaks "vitili" our son. I put the baby on the breast of his wife, and together we waited until the umbilical cord stops pulsating, only then I cut in advance presterilization tools. When we enjoyed the first minutes of communication with my son, I took my family to the hospital where the baby was examined and confirmed that he is completely healthy. This event was brought to our family. Two years later we gave birth to a daughter".





Opponents


Vladimir Kaminsky, Professor, chief gynecologist of the Ministry of health of Ukraine: "the families of the house in Ukraine officially banned (as evidenced by the Law on licensing of medical practice, for his violation of criminal responsibility) is due to the fact that a very high risk to life and health of mother and child. Because obstetrics is the field, where the background of complete well-being can "hit the thunder". For example, if in childbirth there is a complication, such as bleeding, then it in a few minutes can lead to death of mother and baby.




Even if the woman agreed with a midwife, it can only provide first aid for bleeding and slightly reduce it, but to stop it completely only in conditions of a hospital. And hope that the mother will quickly take to the hospital in the ambulance, too, can not - because of traffic jams. But to save a woman and child in the car not too much. Of course, there are exceptions, when everything goes smoothly, but to no risk".




Sergey Baksheev, obstetrician, maternity hospital №3, Deputy chief physician of the center for women's and reproductive health, "Mr. and Mrs.": "I Believe that birth at home no advantages over the traditional method, but there is a significant disadvantage. Deciding to give birth at home, women expect to get comfort and to protect yourself from medical errors.




Yes, some hospitals are more similar to the "state house", which gave birth to our moms, and many doctors abuse drug stimulation, epidural anesthesia and kasaravalli sections. But now in Ukraine is quite maternity homes for every taste, including comfortable and no problem to contact the favourite, and at the same time in advance to find a qualified professional that you trust to lead delivery. By the way, all the manipulations in the hospital should be made only with your consent and only when indicated. And the very significant disadvantage is that there is no guarantee that the midwife will be able to save the woman and child, if the birth does not go as smoothly as they had imagined".




Polina Dudchenko, neonatologist at the hospital No. 2, Kyiv, pediatrician clinic "Adonis-About": "I believe that our women who want to give birth at home, cultivate personal ambitions and ignore the main character in the process of childbirth of the newborn. They forget that the home midwife, which helps them not neonatologist (which is also present at birth), and many may not know. But some diseases are kids, for example, asphyxia (suffocation), cardiovascular failure, severe birth trauma, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, cropped in the first hours of life, and if at the right moment does not help, there will be a threat to the life of the crumbs. Especially dangerous homebirth firstborn, when a woman really do not is how does birth".





Conclusion


Unfortunately, in our country statistics on the number of successful home birth and midwives who accept them, do not assume then no liability. We nedotjagivaem" even to countries where such birth is the norm and under the house each woman is the ambulance with the best and most modern equipment. And while we have for the conduct of home birth specialist criminal responsibility. But if a woman hates the hospital environment, does not have a obstetrician-gynecologist and has an experienced midwife, birth is not the first time and does not complain of health, she can take responsibility for homebirth itself.
