As a rule, doctors determine the approximate date of birth, but often contractions begin completely unexpectedly, and therefore it is necessary to prepare for admission to the hospital in advance. It is especially important that a pregnant woman has all the necessary documents. While in the last trimester, it is advisable to always carry them with you.
Necessary
- - the passport;
- - compulsory medical insurance policy;
- - exchange card;
- - discharge from the hospital;
- - generic certificate;
- - contract (if you give birth for a fee).
Instructions
Step 1
Upon admission to the maternity hospital, an identity document is required - a passport. Therefore, you need to take it with you first of all. If you are in the process of replacing it, ask the passport office for a certificate confirming this fact. But you'd better try to get a new passport at your disposal as soon as possible. If you come to the hospital without this document, according to the law you must be accepted without it, but in practice you may have difficulties.
Step 2
Another document that you need to take to the hospital is the compulsory health insurance policy (MHI). The policy is a certificate that you are registered in the free health insurance system of the Russian Federation. If for any reason you do not have this document, contact your local clinic and find out which insurance company it interacts with. After that, you will have to go to the office of this company. The process of obtaining an insurance policy may well take several months. However, when you contact the company, you will receive a temporary policy in your hands, which you can take with you to the hospital.
Step 3
Do not forget to take with you to the hospital an exchange card - a document that contains information about your health and the condition of the unborn child. The gynecologist in the antenatal clinic fills in the exchange card, starting from your first visit. After 20 weeks, this document is handed over to you.
Step 4
The exchange card consists of 3 parts. The first part contains important data: name, age, home address; existing and transferred diseases; previous pregnancies and childbirth; postponed abortions; heartbeat and fetal position; test results for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis; blood group and Rh factor; results of general analyzes; arterial pressure; estimated due date; ultrasound results; conclusion of an ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist, dentist and other information.
Step 5
Parts 2 and 3 of the exchange card are filled in at the maternity hospital. The second part concerns the health of the woman in labor, and she is returned back to the antenatal clinic. The third part concerns the condition of the child, and it will need to be given to the children's clinic, in which he will be monitored. If a woman in labor enters the hospital without an exchange card, doctors will not have information about her diseases, and therefore the pregnant woman is placed in the infectious diseases department for delivery.
Step 6
If a pregnant woman has been hospitalized, a discharge from the hospital should be provided to the maternity hospital. This document should indicate the diagnosis and describe the treatment performed.
Step 7
The program of birth certificates was launched by the state of the Russian Federation to provide material incentives for maternity hospitals and antenatal clinics. Arriving at the maternity hospital with this document, you give him the opportunity to receive help from the state. The birth certificate is issued from the 30th week of pregnancy in the antenatal clinic. You have the right to receive medical care in the hospital without this document, but it is best to have the certificate with you.
Step 8
If you have previously entered into a contract with the maternity hospital to provide you with paid services, you will also need to take it with you. However, in some maternity hospitals it is possible to sign a contract right upon admission.
Step 9
In the event that you are going to give birth with your partner, he also needs to have a passport with him. In addition, most maternity hospitals will require the partner present at the birth to provide the results of fluorography in order to exclude the risk of introducing tuberculosis.
