Rodd like Russian Roulette

In recent years, more and more insistently urged Russians to give birth, and even in every possible way for that financial incentives. However, many women with no bonuses would like to become mothers, and not even the first ever - if not the prospect of spending several "memorable" days in the hospital.

To give birth or not? (Of the stories that moms are divided on the forums)

Nadezhda, 23 years old:

I gave birth in March. Here is the result: I - seams that were ill for several months and have my baby birth trauma of the cervical spine. The doctors promised anesthesia, but instead gave gas, from which I vomited. Top pressure shot up to 145, the child's heart stopped and doctors had to push it. Moreover, they said nothing about it, and it turned out all later at the Institute of Pediatrics. Even in the hospital "forgot" to inform you that my girls are in addition to suspected dislocated hip, jaundice and dropsy. I was so shocked by all this ... if not for the support of her husband, I do not know, that to me it would be.

Svetlana, 27 years old:

I gave birth Public hospital , Very ordinary. When they brought me, then I put on the bed, in which the mesh to the floor got out. All right, I think it started! But I quickly "moved" to a comfortable bed, and everything was very good. Honestly, I did not expect that midwives are such attentive. They are very helpful, thank you very much.

Arina, 30 years old:

Girlfriend two years ago, I was going to become a mother. Who will understand why I say "going" ... When she went into labor, none of the doctors did not deign to approach her. As a result, most women had to go into the delivery room holding hand baby's head between your legs. Two weeks later, the boy died of systemic staph infection. Since then, the issue   give birth or not for it is not necessary - in any does not want to give birth, with her husband because of this virtually on the verge of divorce.

Nelly, 32 years old:

At first I thought: only Private hospital ! But it so happened that my husband and I could not collect the money. But I do not regret giving birth Public hospital . Of course, there is the new chair would not hurt to install and remontik could be done, but everything from doctors and ending cleaners, treated like a native. Although there has been a change in which the floors and wash us forget thermometers take time: just woke up the next day.

Maternity: the price selection

The Russian maternity hospitals have already occurred cases of infection of newborn babies threatening septic infections (for example, the state of emergency occurred in the Tula region, Novosibirsk). However, according to some experts, from the "contagious" incidents are not insured elsewhere, neither the province nor the capital. In addition, it should be recognized that accidents of this kind are always treated as extraordinary.

There are litigation and precedents when women to sue the hospital. According to the Russian Defense League of patients, in almost all cases, lawyers are engaged in it, newborns have suffered due to the negligence of medical staff. For example, in the three cases brought before the courts with a fatal outcome it has been found that pregnant women were appointed contraindicated drugs. In addition, these women giving birth in medical records read: reading for examination using cardiotocography (CTG). However, the provisions of procedure did not apply. As a result, women have not become mothers.

Here are the stories of the other cases:

* Saratov region. Doctors did not take a woman in travail, who had no medical insurance policy and passport. As a result, the woman gave birth at home.

* Chelyabinsk region. Midwives who performed a caesarean section, "forgotten" in the belly of his patient's tissue. The woman began inflammation, needed an operation.

* Altai region. During a difficult birth anesthesiologist wrong with oxygen supply. As a result, a woman in labor went into a coma.

Medical staff: "The problems in the hospitals? Do not panic! "

According to doctors problems in hospitals   It does not occur more often than in all the other hospitals. Another thing is that the tragic conflicts in which they are perceived more painful. As for the cases of infection of children that is known to doctors bitter paradox: the infection is exacerbated due ... antibiotics. That is, the more doctors are trying to resist the contagion with medication, the more it mutates, becoming "neproshibaemoy." For years (decades!) In maternity institutions such practice existed: at the slightest danger of the hospital was closed for some time, and "washed", ie. E disinfected. But it seems the same against Staphylococcus such a strategy, it does not work anymore: our maternity this infection has become a real scourge. In the West, by the way, in such cases, the hospital simply change residence, moving to other buildings.

Of course, consider all the polls Konovalov obstetricians would be unfair: in any forum on the maternity wards at them full of gratitude statements. You should not ignore the fact that work in budget institutions today is not easy: there plow nurse for five, a catastrophic shortage of nurses and nurses, those who must carry the heavy and dirty work for low wages.

But also Private hospital   - Is not a panacea: in Russia legally enshrined the concept of responsibility of the attending physician to his patient. Prove that the woman has suffered due to the negligence of medical staff that the midwife was to blame, and not mistaken - is extremely difficult. But even in this case, he is not responsible, and the entire hospital.
