Many women know how two small strips of a pregnancy test can change their lives. From this moment, the whole old world ceases to exist, and the expectant mother is immersed in the happy expectation of the baby.
Unfortunately, health problems can complicate pregnancy, so it is very important that a competent specialist conduct advice and supervision. If you objectively look at the situation in our healthcare, the chance to find an attentive and experienced gynecologist in a regular antenatal clinic is small. But this does not mean that in paid clinics you will be given guarantees of pregnancy and childbirth without complications. We have heard a lot about unnecessary tests, medications and wasted money spent on care at private doctors. There is only one way out: when choosing an obstetrician-gynecologist, focus on the reviews of friends.
Maternity hospitals in Moscow
On any women's portal you can find a rating and discussion of the capital's maternity hospitals. Moms are happy to share their impressions and memories. Until recently, the Center for Family Planning and Reproduction, located in the south-west of Moscow, was considered one of the best.
After opening in 1994, the hospital was even called elite, and the likelihood of being treated or giving birth there for free was extremely small. Many children and grandchildren of show business stars, politicians and influential businessmen were born in this very center. Today, such medical facilities are quite common, and rich people have the opportunity to get services abroad. The buzz around a bit has calmed down, and the Family Planning Center is on a par with other metropolitan hospitals.
The top of the rating has been occupied by the Lapino Perinatal Center for several years now, combining not only advanced technologies, but also the best obstetrician-gynecologists from all over the country.
"Mother and Child"
The Lapino Perinatal Center is part of the Mother and Child holding, formed in 2006. It also includes three more modern hospitals and 19 clinics located in eleven Russian cities.
In less than ten years, the Mother and Child group of companies managed to become true experts in the field of gynecology, pediatrics and obstetrics. The holding specializes in medical services for the whole family: from pregnancy to care for children almost to adulthood.
The beginning of a new life
Perinatal center “Lapino” (Moscow) is a clinic that accepts patients only on a fee basis.
One of the main activities of the center is the treatment of infertility. As you know, about 10% of couples face this problem. The most common way to become parents in infertility is in vitro fertilization.
The approximate cost of ECO “Mother and Child” is 150 thousand rubles. Before starting the program, spouses need to be screened (approximately 20,000 for two).
Additional services
In the modern world, the desire to become a mother does not depend on the stamp in the passport. Thanks to the extensive center donor base, in the absence of a partner, any woman can become pregnant and bear a baby.
The clinic offers additional services under the IVF program. In case of failure, you can use the cryopreservation of biomaterial (fertilized or mature eggs and sperm). In addition, the modern method of fertilization before the final stage allows a series of diagnostic studies of the embryo to help identify possible diseases.
As part of the fight against infertility, the Lapino Perinatal Center (institution address: 1st Uspenskoe Shosse 111) on Saturdays offers to visit a reproductive specialist for free. At the reception will be examined, ultrasound and initial consultation.
9 months waiting
The health of the future mother and baby should be a priority at the obstetrician-gynecologist. In a district consultation, a woman may encounter a feeling of a “conveyor belt" when doctors do not pay due attention to each patient, they forget to prescribe the necessary tests. This attitude to work sometimes leads to serious problems, so expectant mothers try not to take risks and conclude individual contracts for pregnancy management.
Many young parents prefer not to stay in the capital, but to travel in search of a better distance from Moscow to Lapin. The perinatal center offers four options for the program, depending on the duration:
- pregnancy management from the 1st trimester - 232 220 rubles.
- pregnancy management from the 2nd trimester - 210 800 rubles.
- pregnancy management from the 3rd trimester - 172,550 rubles.
- pregnancy management from 36 weeks - 74,460 rubles.
The most expensive contract includes consultations of doctors (gynecologist, genetics, therapist, endocrinologist, ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist and physiotherapist), functional and ultrasound examinations, as well as a set of analyzes.
If you are worried about the distance from Moscow to Lapin, the perinatal center suggests concluding a “Weekend Contract”. Indeed, not all patients have the opportunity to come to the clinic on weekdays due to work and traffic jams. The cost of a pregnancy program with visits on Saturday and Sunday is 117,588 rubles.
The management of Mother and Child Holding understands how important it is for a pregnant woman to trust her doctor. As part of a unique campaign, future patients can receive an appointment with one obstetrician-gynecologist for free, so that after the meeting they decide on a long-term contract.
Most of the positive reviews indicate the attentive attitude of doctors and other medical personnel. Thinking about pregnancy at Lapino? The perinatal center, the prices of which are above average, guarantees the appropriate quality of services and the best specialists in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
Maternity hospital
In anticipation of a second or third child, mothers still worry and worry about the upcoming birth, and it is completely impossible to understand the state before the first-born appears.
"Lapino" is a perinatal center, reviews of childbirth in which are filled with happy memories and thanks to obstetricians. Patients note increased attention from the staff from the moment of first admission to discharge.
Many women want to give birth in the presence of a husband or close relatives, and one of the best private maternity hospitals in Europe gives them such an opportunity. Individual boxes have all the necessary equipment, which virtually eliminates complications in this difficult process. In addition, clinic specialists are trained in case of emergency.
Alternative ward
Interested in giving birth in Lapino? The perinatal center, whose doctors practice "soft birth", is incredibly popular. The concept of this approach is very simple - not to interfere in the natural process, but to create the necessary amenities and a pleasant atmosphere.
A specially equipped room allows a woman to feel freedom. A woman in labor occupies the most comfortable position (sitting, lying on the floor, kneeling or leaning on objects) and fully focuses on the most important process in her life. Next to the expectant mother is a midwife, ready at any time to help or calm and cheer.
For greater relaxation, a woman sometimes needs to take a warm bath, which helps her baby to be born faster. In the alternative maternity room there is a small jacuzzi - it is much easier for women in labor to bear painful labor in the water.
First days of life
The postpartum unit at the Lapino Perinatal Center has ideal conditions for mothers and babies. According to patients' reviews, in spacious wards there is everything necessary for caring for a newborn.
Many inexperienced mothers note the work of staff in the training and establishment of breastfeeding. If necessary, massage, physiotherapeutic procedures are carried out and even psychological assistance is provided. The nutritional program for the puerperas is compiled according to the doctor's recommendations and individual preferences.
Doctors at the Lapino Hospital carry out a range of measures to support breastfeeding:
- detailed consultation and training sessions;
- stimulation of lactation, if necessary, and prevention of lactostasis;
- acupressure and physiotherapy in case of lack of milk;
- follow-up and home help.
children's Hospital
The Lapino Perinatal Center offers more than fifteen contracts as part of a children's clinic. The program for children of the first year of life includes consultations of medical specialists at home, tests and studies, as well as the necessary vaccinations. Depending on the age and range of services, the cost of such services is from 150 to 600 thousand rubles.
In addition, the hospital has departments for resuscitation of newborns, pediatric surgery, traumatology and orthopedics. During operations, hospitalization in the family ward is possible.
Several times a month, lectures and seminars are held for parents on popular topics: vaccination, newborn care, ARVI treatment, and more.
Contribution to the Future
Today, more and more parents are resorting to the preservation of stem cells. This procedure can be carried out only once - at the time of birth, the necessary material is released from the umbilical cord blood.
The rapid development of medicine gives hope for the treatment of many diseases with the help of stem cells. Already, they can help with some congenital and hereditary immune, oncological and hematological ailments, anemia, leukemia and recovery after chemotherapy.
Two years ago, the Perinatal Center (Odintsovo) - Lapino became one of two stem cell banks in Russia. Advanced technologies allow the storage of biomaterial for many years.
The procedure takes place directly in the birth hall and does not pose a danger to mom and newborn. The decision to take stem cells can be made in advance (the contract is executed after 34 weeks of pregnancy) and during childbirth.
