Birth Planning and Prenatal Counseling

The pregnancy process is as important as how it ends, as it is how it begins. A healthy birth is possible with good planning, timely intervention, and the mother having sufficient information about the birth process.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Meral Tuğba Çimşir provides professional consultancy and birth planning services to prepare expectant mothers for birth both physically and psychologically, to ensure that the birth is carried out safely, and to make a conscious transition to the postpartum period.

Information

What is Birth Planning?

Birth planning is a health process that allows for the determination of how and where the birth will take place, which birth method will be preferred, and the support services that may be needed. Every woman's birth experience is different; therefore, the birth plan should also be individualized.

It is evaluated whether the birth will be normal, epidural or cesarean:

The most appropriate and safe method of delivery is determined by taking into account the health status of the mother, the development of the baby and the course of labor.

Image Description
The mother-to-be's expectations, priorities and concerns are taken into account:

Knowing that birth is both a physical and emotional experience, the mother's personal preferences and psychological preparation are included in the planning.

The health institution where the birth will take place is determined:

Factors such as the hospital or delivery room infrastructure, team and transportation where the birth will take place are evaluated and organised in advance.

Preparations are made for possible birth scenarios:

In addition to the planned birth, alternative scenarios are determined in advance in case the birth begins at different times and under different conditions.

The entire process, including the person who will be with the child during birth, the baby's first care after birth, and the mother's postpartum support, is structured together.
