Sophisticated Birthing Beds arrive in Kochi
Women can deliver at the comfort of their private rooms with their husband and family!!
Women in Kochi can look forward to a relaxed delivery in an ambient environment at Vijayalakshmi Medical Centre [VMC] on NH bypass at Chakkarapparambu. This has become possible with the help of Huntleigh Birthing Beds imported from UK . With this purpose designed bed, women can deliver in their private rooms avoiding to and fro shifting to labour wards. An added benefit is the comfort of husband and family standing aside.
Dr. Vijayalakshmi G. Pillai [MRCOG], Gynaecologist & Medical Director, Vijayalakshmi Medical Centre said, “Birthing Beds, common in developed countries, are new to Kochi . The biggest impact is on women as studies have proven that such ambience, privacy and comfort of husband would reduce the chances of medical interventions and increase maternal satisfaction. This would be the first time in Kochi were a relative can be allowed to stand beside the woman during delivery in her own private room. It is a privilege for us to offer this in Kochi .”
“Birthing Beds have been designed to allow optimum access to both mother and baby through all stages of the birthing process, whilst maintaining the mother’s safety, dignity, and most importantly comfort. The bed converts quickly from an ordinary bed to a delivery platform and back to a comfortable recovery bed. The bed offers us a wide choice of safe and comfortable positions that can be adopted during labour and delivery, such as Sitting, Standing, Kneeling and Lateral positions. These varied options are required in the case of difficulty in normal birth. Thus the bed enables us to increase the possibility of natural birth over induced birth.” Dr. Vijayalakshmi added.
