CHILDBIRTH

We cooperate with four medical institutions that offer childbirth services – Jurmala Hospital, Liepaja Regional Hospital, Riga Maternity Hospital and Sigulda Hospital. All institutions employ high-class professionals such as gynecologists, neonatologists, midwives and children nurses who take care of families day and night during these important moments. Childbirth related services are provided in modern, cozy and comfortable facilities. Also relatives can stay on the premises. It is possible to participate in childbirth, as well as to stay with the baby and mother in the postpartum period in cozy rooms equipped with the Internet, TV, catering, etc.

All health care institutions work non-stop without holidays. Childbirth is one of the medical fields where precise planning is not possible.

All clinics offer a full range of services from maternal health care before pregnancy to baby health checks after birth. Main services include:

• Lectures for young and expectant parents
• Pregnancy care and preparation for childbirth
• Child delivery and childbirth management (classical childbirth, C-section, water birth, inpatient home delivery – special rooms with an environment close to that of home)
• Postpartum care for women
• Neonatologist and newborn care
• Stem cell collection from umbilical cord
• Other services.

The available procedures differ by clinic.
Popular types of analgesia with proven clinical efficacy are anesthesia and analgesia (spinal or spinal epidural). Laughing gas analgesia is also available, and it must be used properly to reduce the risk of side effects. Some exceptions might require childbirth analgesia with pain relief medication; however, pain relieving methods will always be discussed with the doctor based on the patient’s health status.

There are many factors to evaluate when deciding which hospital to choose for childbirth. Some include distance, offered services, information on staff and equipment, etc. An important factor for many is the availability of different types of childbirth – water birth, family birth, etc. Find out more about the range of services offered and the staff at specific hospitals.
The process is made significantly easier with a childbirth plan which considers various scenarios in certain situations. Such a plan is made by midwives in preparation for childbirth.
