Porodnice Podolí – Maternity Hospital

Our prenatal clinic provides care to pregnant women with physiological and high-risk pregnancies.
Physiological pregnancy care is provided to registering women from the 36th week of pregnancy, when they are transferred to our care by the attending gynecologist.
Care for high-risk pregnancies is provided at any time as needed, always with the recommendation of the attending gynecologist or other specialist doctor and according to health problems complicating the course of the pregnancy. Acute care is provided without referral and prior appointment.

If the pregnant woman is offered care by the attending gynecologist until the due date, please make one visit to our prenatal clinic after the 36th week of pregnancy in order to write and complete the documentation required for the birth – the pregnant woman will be instructed in detail by the attending gynecologist before sending.
We prefer regular staffing of ambulances (by a doctor and a midwife) – i.e. that a specific pregnant woman is cared for by the same doctor or midwife – to ensure continuity of care. Even here, however, it is necessary to take into account certain exceptions, which are related to other duties of
doctors.

We are the first maternity hospital in Prague that provides care for physiologically pregnant women by experienced midwives. The midwife’s care takes place from the end of the 36th week of pregnancy until the date of delivery. Care includes not only examination, but also psychoprophylaxis and preparation of the pregnant woman for childbirth. In the case of a birth wish, also its consultation.
This is usually only the second visit, always after prior mutual agreement between the pregnant woman and the doctor. Women in our country have had the option of prenatal care with midwives for several years now, and they are using this option more and more.
The midwives who provide this care also work in the delivery room at the same time.

In order to set the rules and prevent any misunderstandings during the birth and stay in our maternity hospital, we agree upon registrationHealth care contract (RTF). We have also modified the Internal Rules (PDF) and, in case of interest, we have prepared a Sample Birth Plan (PDF). All these documents are prepared for the purpose of a peaceful delivery and the entire stay in our maternity hospital in accordance with the personal ideas of pregnant women.
You can familiarize yourself with the wording of the documents on our website.
