1. A photocopy of each passport, including the first page, marriage stamp, and registration, is needed in order to be admitted. 2. The due date and the pregnancy certificate from the prenatal clinic. 3. A certificate from the husband’s employer attesting to his employment there. 4. A copy of the marriage license. 5. If the mother or father must be present, a copy of the birth certificate is needed to verify the relationship in addition to a copy of the passport and a certificate from the place of employment. 6. Only a note on the car’s passage is needed in order to enter.

Documents are able to be sent:

Via email addressed to perinatalcenter@med.Tomsk.ru on the delivery date. Send one or two photocopies in a letter; do not send more than four or five megabytes.

Following document delivery, a request was made the following day to call Secretary 8 (3823) 77-96-12 from 13:00 to 15:00 to inquire about the status of the documents. Never call before or after the appointed time.

The pass is ready in two to three weeks. You are called with the number and date (you will need to call the Passenger Bureau) when you find out via phone whether the pass is ready.

The pass can be extended if needed; simply see your doctor to obtain a certificate for an extension. The pass is valid for 45 days after the date of activation. Obtain a pass at the Bureau of Passenger entrance to Seversk (to the right of the checkpoint). Pregnant women are granted a pass for themselves and one companion (spouse or close family; alternative options are addressed separately).

The Pass Office is open from 8:00 to 22:30, with lunch breaks from 8:00 to 19:00 and 1:00 to 14:00. The checkpoint is open 24/7. Remember this the next time you visit Seversk. Particularly important for people who choose to use contractions. Additionally, there are traffic bottlenecks at the checkpoint, particularly in the morning and evening, so expect to wait anywhere from ten to an hour.

The road there

To Seversk +-270 km, takes about 3-4.5 hours. Many people go by navigator, we, in the absence of this miracle technology, got there using this scheme:
Novosibirsk Moshkovo Bolotnoye Yurga
after the Yurga traffic police post, there will be a left turn to Tomsk (now a new road has opened, there a little earlier you need to turn left at the junction), you get to Tomsk —
before the bridge at the entrance to Tomsk, turn left towards p.Timiryazevo (road P-398), drive about 5-6 km after this village, there will be a roundabout, go right, pass the bridge over the Tom, at the junction near the bridge go straight, after a couple of kilometers there will be another junction, the first sign to Seversk will appear, there you enter under the bridge and go right, after two km there will be Seversk.

Although it’s a shorter distance, traveling through Tomsk itself will take longer because of traffic lights and congestion.

The Seversk map can be downloaded at http://swdb.ru/central-gis/download/download link #1. After installing and running the program, you’re prompted to download the required city map. Simply select "Seversk" and you’re done!

Excursion

You are allowed to take an excursion during your stay in the prenatal hospitalization if you have made the decision to give birth in the SPC. Going on an excursion beforehand is highly recommended if you are unsure about your decision. Regarding trips, call C.T. 8 906 958-70-59. –Psychologist Tatyana Grigoryevna Shadrina Every Wednesday at 11:00 am (check the schedule prior to the trip), there are excursions to the Perinatal Center (office 203). Please remember to pack a disposable gown, extra shoes, and shoe covers.

After the excursion, we made our decision (prior to that, my husband was highly dubious about my idea).

Accommodation

If you can afford it, you can spend the time leading up to your delivery staying in a hotel or renting an apartment in Tomsk or Seversk (though this is usually expensive). The second option is to visit the SPC and have a prenatal hospitalization at 38–40 weeks. They take each and every one. They have never turned away guests in any situation. The most drastic solution is to flow with the contractions, like broken waters (underline as needed). It takes roughly 2.5 to 3.5 hours to travel there. However, I’m afraid that rushing through contractions makes them even worse, so allow five hours—you might not have time to get there.

Accommodation for out-of-towners:

Kids’ health camp From September to May, Berezka provides lodging on the camp grounds at any time that works best for you. Warm rooms with 2, 3, 5, and 10 beds available. A microwave, electric stove, kettle, shower, and toilet are available. Address: 11 Leningradskaya, g. Seversk. Numbers to call: 8 (3823) 56-96-31 The director, Matveyev Vasily Ivanovich, 8 (3823) 56-73-66 Maria Aleksandrovna Timofeeva

Physicians for optional health insurance: Olga Vasilievna Trivozhenko is the head of the obstetric department and a doctor of the highest category, with a t. of 8903915252; Ofitserova Marina Aleksandrovna is the head of the pregnancy pathology department and a doctor of the highest category. Kiyko Yana Vladimirovna (t. 89138235140) is a doctor of the highest caliber.

Minor hospitalization

I went to the antenatal ward at 40 weeks, but they also take you at 38 (even without indications) you yourself will just get really tired of lying there all this time and ask for stimulation yourself, which is not good, so probably the “ideal” option is to come at 39-40 weeks.
upon arrival you are examined, take tests and write CTG. The SPC does not stimulate childbirth, if everything is fine, t.e., good tests and at least some process of preparing the body for childbirth is underway (the cervix softens, there is opening), then no matter how much you weren"t lying down, they won"t do anything to you except monitor you. If there are any deviations, of course, they will offer to prepare the body.
While in the prenatal ward, you can freely go out into the city (until 20-00, and it is also advisable to be there during the rounds), attend free yoga classes for pregnant women (on Mondays and Thursdays in the SPC itself), go on an excursion (contact Shadrina) and talk to a psychologist about mental preparation for childbirth.
The psychologist"s office holds classes for pregnant women, which can also be attended for free.
All this is included in the SPC service.
The wards are 2-bed, on the second floor there is one 5-bed (toilet, shower everywhere), almost all the wards have a TV.

Meals

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an afternoon snack. It is required that you bring your own glass to the SPC; there is a cooler in the lobby.

Premises

There are five birthing rooms and one operating room at the SPC. On the same floor as the operating room is the intensive care unit. Two-in-one prenatal-delivery ward. Some of the rooms have Swedish walls, a couch, a birthing chair, and a fitball. The room has eye-catching details, such as adorable curtains and kid-made drawings on the walls. A shower at the end of the hallway (one for each of the five birthing rooms). It’s actually easier and faster to labor in the shower, and doctors strongly advise it.

Childbirth

It is acceptable and encouraged to give birth with a spouse present (and, miracle, it’s also free of charge). The spouse just needs to bring a change of clothes and a strong will; no certifications are required.

I personally gave birth quickly, spent the majority of the labor in my ward, and entered the labor room with eight fingers of dilation, so I did not fully benefit from being there. Nevertheless, I will make a reservation right away.

So:
They do not give an enema, they do not shave the pubis (this is a violation of women"s rights).
The birth process is as natural as possible. WITHOUT INDICATIONS you will not be stimulated, pricked in the bladder, given an epidural and episiotomy (all only for very good reasons).
The chairs in the maternity wards are new, leather, with a remote control, t.e. you won"t have to wriggle around with a stepladder on it. The design of the chair allows you to deliver babies in different positions (lying down, sitting, on your side or on all fours) I gave birth first half-lying down, then squatting.
Examinations are kept to a minimum (again, if there are no indications).
During labor, the perineum was poured with oil, it seems, to reduce tears.

A side note regarding episiotomy—the SPC is correct to feel that it is preferable to tear rather than cut. Before going into labor, you will be required to sign an INFORMED CONSENT that contains information on how to manage expectant labor in the event that amniotic fluid leaks out before labor begins and how to actively manage the third stage of labor, which is the birth of the placenta. You can view these documents on the mama.tomsk.ru website.

I chose "physiological" option. The umbilical cord was not cut immediately, not earlier than a minute later, but of course I am not sure that they waited for the pulsation to completely stop, since there was no time for that (I was admiring my son).
From the moment of birth, the child is with the mother all the time, all procedures are in the mother"s presence. If there was a cesarean section, then the child is given to the father in his arms and everyone is transferred to the ward together.
After cutting the umbilical cord, the child is taken to the next table to check the condition, during this time the mother usually gives birth to the placenta (the method of birth of the placenta is again discussed).
The mother is examined, if necessary, they patch up.
At this time, a hat and socks are put on the child, laid on the mother"s stomach and covered with a diaper and a blanket.
After this, the lights are dimmed and you and the baby are left "alone" for 1.5-2 hours. (in"" because 10-20 minutes after birth a nurse from the children"s department comes to put the baby to the breast, a gynecologist comes in to check the contraction of the uterus (compare with Novosibirsk maternity hospitals – lying in the corridor with a bladder on your stomach). An hour later, a neonatologist came, weighed and measured the baby, and put tetracycline ointment in the eyes (In maternity hospitals in Novosibirsk, it is customary to put silver nitrate or other drops with an antibiotic effect in the eyes of newborns). Then the doctor began to talk about how the birth went, about the baby"s condition, about the benefits of breastfeeding, about what awaits you in the next 3 days).
Vaccinations are not given in the first hours, only on the following day.
Then a nurse and a doctor from the postpartum ward come and you and your baby are transferred to the postpartum ward in a wheelchair.

Offering a wide range of services from prenatal consultations to postpartum care, the Seversk Perinatal Center offers complete care and support for expectant mothers, newborns, and families. With the help of this guide, you will be able to easily access and navigate the center’s services, resulting in a seamless experience for all phases of pregnancy and delivery.

Postpartum ward

They arranged us side by side in the ward and then left. A gynecologist came every hour to assess the state of the uterus. After six hours (in the morning), they made me lie on my stomach on the toilet and then gave me permission to shower and roam the ward. You can sleep with your baby in a 1.5-bed bed; if you’d rather not, you can place him in an incubator. If you need to go to the ultrasound, for example, you can leave the child in the children’s department.

All staff members at the SPC support breastfeeding, and you will be repeatedly shown the proper way to apply a child and which poses allow you to feed them.

After COP for 5–6 days, extract on the third day following childbirth. You will have a uterine ultrasound performed while you are there. The child will be offered BCG and hepatitis B vaccinations, blood work, genetic disease analysis, and an ultrasound of the head and internal organs (or other organs as indicated).

Cons: Shell beds; it seems that the funding was insufficient for them, but fortunately, this was not the case in every ward. In one, we slept soundly at night, but upon moving to another, we passed the infant to each other.

I was lying on street 10 in February, and we went outside into the corridor and aired the ward for half a day. I can’t imagine what happens there in the summer. It is warm in the SPC in the winter, but as soon as it gets warmer outside, it gets really hot. Do not take warm dressing gowns and so on.

Visits to the SPC

The opportunity for the husband to spend the first day with the new mother and baby is declared. In practice, this is only possible when placed in a single room, because.. you understand that in a double room where there is another mother with a newborn, it is not very decent for a "stranger" man to be, put yourself in the place of a neighbor who has just given birth. So, if you are suddenly lucky and after giving birth you are transferred to an empty room, no one will throw your husband out, and if not, then in an hour or two the spouse will have to leave.
Visits of relatives in the SPC are allowed from 18 to 20. In reality, close relatives can be allowed in at any time, it depends on the shift of the aunty guard and the importance of your visit. When my husband was discharged, they calmly let him into the room with a bunch of bags.
Children are not allowed in the SPC, do not be offended at them for this, but children are really "carriers" childhood infections, which are absolutely undesirable in r.d.

Road home

We took our time driving home, 5.5–6 hours. The child slept soundly in the car seat after I hardly woke him up to feed him (all children sleep on the road, based on my friends’ experiences).

What to take with you

I provide what I felt was helpful and what wasn’t from the helpful list.

Records:

• passport
• pension certificate (green card)
• exchange card
• birth certificate
• compulsory medical insurance policy
• all ultrasounds and tests that you have on hand and that you consider necessary to show to the doctor.
• Accompanying sheet (if any)
  (They made all the copies themselves)

Items:

• bags for outerwear and shoes (if you go to the prenatal ward, then hand over your outerwear to the cloakroom, they will give you a number there, you can go for a walk)
• rubber slippers so that you can take a shower
• robe (preferably a light one, because.. it is really hot)
• nightgown (a nightgown is only needed for the prenatal ward, after the birth they are given out and changed every day. In general, you can wear regular home clothes in the prenatal ward)
• nursing bra, pads for the bra (optional)
• well-absorbing pads with a soft surface (1-2 packs)
• socks
• towel (large for the shower)
• disposable Molipants panties (2-3 pcs) or cotton swimming trunks 5 pcs
• postpartum bandage

Food

• Still water, 2 liters (for childbirth)
• tea (there is a cooler in the hallway, you can drink tea)

Other:

• socket night light (there are night lights in the wards, but they are very bright, and in some only both turn on at the same time, IMHO, so as not to wake up your neighbor, it is better to take)
• dishes (you need your own mugs, the rest of the dishes are given)
• money 500-1000 rubles. (I found them useful while I was in the prenatal ward, because.k. I ran to the nearest supermarket. Well, in general, in a strange city you never know what you will need)
• notebook and pen (with memory is bad, wrote down the names of doctors)
• nipple ointment: Bepanten
• diaper (for examinations on the chair) (came in handy when I went for an ultrasound)
• garbage bags (were not needed, they scolded us for this. There are three bins: for baby diapers, for sheets and nightgowns, and for regular garbage)
• phone, charger (it is forbidden to charge phones in the wards, you can leave them to charge at your post, but we quietly charged them in the room, the only thing is that not all the sockets there work)
• camera (I took pictures of the baby every day)

Cosmetics and hygiene:

• liquid soap for mom (I used the same one that I took for the child)
• shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, washcloth, hair dryer
• toilet paper (the most important thing 🙂 )
• paper towels (1-2 rolls are a must, they scold you if you don"t have them and make you buy them because.. bacteria multiply on regular ones)
• toothpaste, brush
• comb
• hair clip or hair tie (again, they scold young ladies with loose hair)
• mirror, lip balm
• hand and face cream
• file, scissors
• mascara, lipstick, foundation

For a young person:

• baby soap with a dispenser (a must!)
• wet wipes
• diapers (1 pack) (You need your own diapers, since they do not give them there, they give out diapers
• cream
• disposable or regular diapers (the SPC gives out 5 diapers per day, but if necessary, I think you can ask for more)
• bonnet (at least one bonnet is a must, take the child out of the ward only in a bonnet, otherwise they scold you. and do not carry him out in your arms, only in a gurney)

Regarding guests:

• home clothes or a robe
• change of shoes and shoe covers, towel

Hats, bonnets, rompers, diapers, blankets, corners, or envelopes (depending on availability and weather) are appropriate for the mother and child’s discharge. They don’t say anything and just dress you in what you bring.
