We provide you with continuing support and information on all pregnancy issues and questions, parenting, a large variety of choices for a natural birth including waterbirth, advice about breastfeeding, the care of new-borns and family planning. Adiva has something for the fathers as well. We offer ideas about how they can support and protect their wives and babies throughout this special time through childbirth classes and the exchange with other like-minded parents.
We offer a safe and comfortable alternative to the traditional hospital birthing environment. The Birth Centre enables you to have a natural birth experience with minimal medical intervention within a hospital setting. Here, we provide the personal experience desired by many women, with care provided by highly specialized faculty.
You'll have a variety of choices to help you give birth with little or no pain medication, with techniques including birthing balls and stools, massage, walking, breathing and more. If necessary, the option of anesthesia, epidural or more intensive medical care is also available. You can also bring your favourite music to be played while you are in your delivery room so that you can relax and enjoy the most memorable part of your life. Most importantly, unlike home you are just minutes away from the latest technology and state-of-the-art obstetrical/neonatal units, should they be needed. With the Birth Centre located within our hospital, patients have true peace of mind, knowing that advanced medical care is available immediately for mother and the baby.
You will have a private labour room for giving birth where you can make yourself comfortable, take a bath, wear your own clothes and have food when you feel hungry. Every birth is different, our aim is to strive together for a physical, emotional and spiritual intactness and entity. We will be at your side throughout labour and childbirth. We will observe the progress of birth and the wellbeing of mother and child. The foetal heartbeat is monitored by recent techniques.
After the birth you will have time for yourself to peacefully greet and welcome your child and establish the first precious bonding. We then measure, weigh and bathe the child together and do a medical examination in your presence. This will be followed with a celebration in which you, your family and the entire staff will rejoice the coming of your precious little one.
a. Epidural Anaesthesia
Epidural is a kind of anaesthetic (medication to block pain). It is commonly used during labour and delivery because it numbs your lower body while allowing you to remain awake. During an epidural, anaesthesia is injected into the area around your lower spine outside the spinal fluid. Within minutes, your body becomes partly numb from about the waist down. You may lose muscle control in your legs, but you can usually still push during contractions. An epidural is usually not started until you're in active labor. You'll be asked to sit on the edge of the bed or lie on your side. First a small area around your lower spine is numbed with a local anesthetic. The anaesthesiologist then inserts a needle into the epidural space. A tiny plastic tube (catheter) is threaded through the needle. The needle is removed, and the anaesthetic is delivered through the catheter. Sometimes a pump is attached to the catheter. The pump gives you a constant level of anaesthetic throughout labor and delivery. During this time, your blood pressure and heart rate and your baby's heart rate are also closely watched.
b. Cesarean Suites
For Cesarean births, you will also find a family-centered approach. Your obstetrical nurse will remain with you during the preparation, birth and recovery after your delivery. Your spouse or support person is encouraged to attend this joyous event. After your baby is born, a specialized team of physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists will perform your baby's first health exam in the delivery room with you. We make every effort to have healthy moms and babies recover together.
