Pregnancy care
Preparing for childbirth
As the pregnancy progresses, the role of the midwife becomes more important, quickly taking an interest in the development of the pregnancy and the mother’s wishes, and establishing a relationship of complicity and trust that facilitates the whole process.
When the time comes for dilation and birth, the midwifery team is constantly by the expectant mother’s side to clarify any questions and attend to any needs immediately.
Maternity Preparation
Delivery
The birth of a child is one of the most important and unforgettable events in life. The team of specialists at Clinica Rotger has extensive experience and is committed to a concept of respectful birth that combines the mother’s well-being, her safety and that of her baby. Today’s Obstetric Unit combines technology, equipment and human resources to ensure that the delivery at Clinica Rotger is the way every woman wants it to be.
Respectful childbirth
What does a respectful delivery mean?
The professionals at the Clinica Rotger have made it their mission to offer expectant mothers all the possibilities that the clinic’s new obstetric area has to offer.
Under the premise of making the delivery natural and humane, a birth plan is drawn up that takes into account the wishes and needs of the pregnant woman and also encourages the participation of her partner or companion.
From the moment of admission, the entire birth process takes place in the same room, in an intimate and individual environment that can be designed according to the mother’s wishes.
After birth, the baby always stays with the parents, “skin-to-skin” is usually practised and the baby receives initial medical care and attention.
In short, all measures aim to promote a natural process with as little intervention as possible, and if there is no medical contradiction, all measures are agreed and coordinated with the expectant mother and are in accordance with her wishes.
Safety during delivery
Clinica Rotger is the private centre in the Balearic Islands where most childbirths take place each year. The clinic’s main commitment to expectant parents is to offer all possible guarantees to make the whole process as safe as possible. Thus, the centre has had a fully equipped Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for many years, and there is always a neonatologist present within the obstetric team to carry out an initial examination of the baby in the first minutes of life.
Presence of a neonatologist
There is always a neonatologist present at all childbirths at Clinica Rotger, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to intervene immediately in case of unforeseen events and to make sure that the baby is doing well in the first moments after birth.
The fact that a neonatologist is always present at the delivery offers the guarantee that professionals who know about the care of newborns are ready to act immediately when a few minutes can be crucial.
The presence of doctors also provides assurance that any doubts can be resolved on the spot and that everything will proceed normally.
Newborn intensive care unit
If necessary, the Clinica Rotger has an Intensive Care Unit prepared for the special monitoring of newborns. The technical equipment, the quiet environment and the training of the specialist staff are unique in the private healthcare sector in the Balearic Islands. A neonatologist is always present in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Specialised care and technology
Eight state-of-the-art incubators allow constant cardiopulmonary monitoring of the newborn, as well as weight and temperature control. The unit is also equipped with high flow respirators. It also has two warming beds and an isolation area to prevent infection.
The centre’s best cardiologists and radiologists collaborate with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Clinica Rotger to ensure the fastest possible delivery and subsequent care.
Thanks to the “open door” principle of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, parents can enter the unit at any time to maintain contact with their baby and participate in the basic care of their newborn.
“A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with all the technological means, constant presence of a neonatologist and detailed examinations, all the guarantees of care after birth”.
Early detection tests
Before discharge, hearing and metabolic tests are performed, as well as screening for congenital heart defects. The centre also offers the possibility of extending the newborn examination with the heel prick test to include a genetic analysis for the early detection of deafness of genetic origin, food intolerances or the 42 inborn errors of metabolism.
Early detection of these pathologies can effectively prevent the onset of serious or even fatal diseases.
Finally, parents are offered to continue follow-up examinations in the first month of their baby’s life with the paediatricians of the Clinica Rotger.
