The long-awaited two strips on the test or a pleasant surprise - remember this moment, because after it your life will change dramatically. Future parents are separated from sleepless nights for a long nine months, and it's time to think about who to entrust with the management of pregnancy. Especially this question excites those who expect the first-born.
Vitamins, necessary tests, individual recommendations and the pregnant woman's well-being - the baby should grow and develop under the supervision of a competent specialist.
Women's consultation
Conducting pregnancy in Moscow is primarily carried out by women. Reception and almost all manipulations are free of charge. Future mothers, according to the law, can also apply for a recipe for dairy cuisine and get free vitamins.
Over the past few years, dramatic changes have taken place in the healthcare system: electronic queues, alerts about visits, and much more have appeared. However, the only thing that legislators cannot change is the attitude towards people. Some doctors are indifferent to their duties, allow you to send unacceptable remarks to patients and completely ignore their questions and requests.
A happy woman who finds out about an interesting situation is faced with indifference on the part of the doctor, waiting for coupons for a free ultrasound scan and re-taking tests because the previous ones simply cannot be found. We do not say that such a mess is happening in all district consultations, but you cannot hide the reviews of dissatisfied patients.
The expectant mother should trust her doctor and be able to contact him at any time. For this reason, many prefer paid pregnancy management.
Pros of private clinics
The obvious advantage of a contract involving medical management of pregnancy is an individual approach. In private clinics there are no queues, and reception takes place at exactly the appointed time.
In addition, all the necessary examinations and analyzes are carried out in a short time, and the results will definitely not be lost. The attending physician is ready to answer all questions, no matter how stupid they may seem to you.
As in the antenatal clinic, closer to the birth, an exchange card is issued here, which must be presented at the hospital.
Cons of private clinics
The contract for the management of pregnancy, depending on the duration and cost, includes an appointment with a doctor and a set of tests. Private clinics try to make money on each client, so you may be strongly recommended to conduct more examinations for an additional fee. In this case, it is better to consult another specialist, so as not to fall for the bait.
Another drawback concerns the sick leave. Severe toxicosis, poor health, tone or a cold - very often pregnant women need a little rest. A sick leave doctor must write out a pregnancy practitioner. Reviews of young mothers note that it is much easier to get this document in a public institution. We advise sometimes to look at the antenatal clinic and be in good relations with the local gynecologist.
We will consider private clinics that offer pregnancy management in Moscow. Read the rating, contract value and patient reviews in our review.
1. Center for Reproduction and Genetics Nova Clinics
- One of the leading specialized medical centers performing pregnancy management in Moscow. All doctors of the clinic are highly qualified specialists, most have candidate and doctoral degrees, as well as are authors of scientific publications and practical developments. Each of them has many years of successful experience in pregnancy management (including complicated).
The main advantages of the Nova Clinic Center for Reproduction and Genetics:
- excellent technical equipment, involving expert-level research;
- individual approach, as well as constant contact with the attending physician;
- referral to the best maternity hospitals in Moscow ;
- execution of all necessary documentation (sick leave, certificates, etc.);
- European level of service.
The cost of conducting a single pregnancy is 125,400 rubles (or 41,800 rubles per trimester).
The cost of multiple pregnancy is 148 500 rubles (or 49 500 rubles per term).
2. “Mother and Child”
The group of companies “Mother and Child” was established in early 2006. Today, every woman dreams of being a leader in the field of gynecology, obstetrics and pediatrics. 19 clinics, 4 modern hospitals and a large team of specialists who work for you 24 hours a day - all this is worthy of the top of our rating.
Seven clinics “Mother and Child” offer pregnancy management in Moscow. Unfortunately, not every family can afford a contract. The cost depends on the chosen medical institution.
The most expensive observation will be at the Lapino Clinical Hospital:
- program from the 1st trimester - 243,100 rubles,
- program from the 2nd trimester - 221,000 rubles,
- program from the 3rd trimester - 180,200 rubles.
A contract concluded in the first trimester at the Novogireevo clinic, for example, costs half the price - 95,685 rubles.
Most of the young mothers that were observed at Lapino were satisfied with their choice. Superbly equipped hospital, highly qualified doctors from all over the capital, incredibly sensitive attitude and better pregnancy management - it is very difficult to find negative reviews. The remarks concern only the location of the medical institution: the road, taking into account traffic jams, takes at least 1.5 hours.
3. Scientific Center of Obstetrics. Kulakova
Where to find reasonable prices for pregnancy management in Moscow? The rating is continued by the Scientific Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology at 4 Akademika Oparina Street.
According to information on the official website, the simplest contract for pregnancy management (without complications) from the early stages of Optima will cost 100,000 rubles. The execution of the contract implies the issuance of an exchange card, as well as outpatient and maternity sick leave.
Reviews indicate that qualified doctors work in the center on Oparina Street. Pregnancy is limited to prescribed procedures, and no one sets a goal to draw money out of you. Some gynecologists even advise not to conclude a contract, but to pay separately for each appointment. Analyzes can be taken in the clinic itself, in private laboratories or even in a antenatal clinic. In this case, the exchange card and sick leave are also issued at the place of residence.
4. Center for traditional obstetrics
The best staff, modern equipment and skilled pregnancy management - the rating of Moscow clinics cannot be imagined without the Center for Traditional Obstetrics. Specialists are trying to build partnerships with future parents.
As part of monitoring pregnancy in CTA, patients are offered three options:
- The basic program provides a minimum set of studies and medical appointments, which are necessary to obtain an exchange card. The minimum deposit is 25,000 rubles.
- The “Exclusive” program includes an unlimited number of appointments with an obstetrician-gynecologist, all kinds of laboratory and instrumental examinations, group classes, as well as consultation with an osteopath (once a month) and a perinatal psychologist. The cost of the program is 120,000 rubles.
- One-time consultations of ultrasound specialists and obstetrician-gynecologists.
At the Center for Traditional Obstetrics, much time is devoted to preparing for childbirth. For this, specialists conduct thematic lectures, trainings and practical exercises. The school of mothers and fathers helps to prepare for childbirth and learn about the physiology of the baby, useful information about hardening and learn the basic stages in the life of the child.
“Sensitive and responsive people” - this is how the grateful patients characterize the CTA team. According to reviews, pregnancy management takes place in a friendly atmosphere. Expectant mothers do not spend hours in huge lines waiting for admission. Sitting on a cozy sofa, you can drink tea. There is a play area for children.
5. Center for Immunology and Reproduction
The Center for Immunology and Reproduction, founded in 1996, is proud of the introduction of advanced Western technologies. For expectant mothers, pregnancy programs are developed here, courses and master classes are held, as well as classes in the fitness room.
The center is distinguished from many other private clinics by its own laboratory, which allows you to quickly receive research data and make the necessary appointments. Branches are located in the Central, Southern and Northern districts of the capital.
Depending on the term, a pregnancy contract will cost from 78,000 to 86,000 rubles. Full and partial payment is provided. At the conclusion of the contract, the future patient receives a 25% discount, as well as a discount card (10%) for additional services.
Impressions from observation in the CIR for patients are different. Among the advantages note the lack of queues and attentive attitude. The comments concern the work of individual specialists - we hope that the clinic management at least occasionally reads reviews on the Web.
6. Family Planning Center
At the time of opening in 2006, it was an advanced hospital, in which many expectant mothers dreamed of being observed. Today everyone has the opportunity to make an appointment with an obstetrician-gynecologist, but it’s even easier to do this together with the purchase of a contract.
On a paid basis, you can become a member of a unique pregnancy management program, which includes not only examinations and analyzes, but also an unlimited number of consultations with all specialists of the center. In addition, at the conclusion of the contract, discounts on payment of childbirth and further monitoring of the baby are valid.
However, the once-advanced Family Planning Center fell into fifth place in our modest rating for past achievements. Almost ten years ago star moms and businessmen’s wives gave birth here. Since then, much has changed. According to patients' reviews, the building has long been in need of cosmetic repairs. The Lapino hospital lured the best doctors, and the pregnancy management program on a paid basis (the cost must be specified by the telephone of the center) implies hours of waiting in lines and an indifferent attitude from the staff.
By the way, on the basis of the center there is a branch of the clinic “Mother and Child” - the Perinatal Medical Center on Sevastopol Avenue. The minimum contract price for the weekend program is 124 524 rubles.
7. “Healthy generation”
Maternity hospital No. 25 is one of the best in Moscow, therefore, the Healthy Generation medical association, which actively collaborates with it, causes a lot of trust among young families.
Reviews about the paid ward in maternity hospital No. 25 are extremely positive, which cannot be said about the observation by obstetrician-gynecologists in the Healthy Generation. Patients advise this medical association only to those who are 100% confident in their own health. There are complaints about the work of narrow specialists (for example, an optometrist). In addition, there is an appointment of additional analyzes and procedures that are not included in the contract, payment for which is unexpectedly required at the last appointment.
Conducting pregnancy from the 1st trimester - from 94,200 rubles. After the 36th week, a contract for a paid birth is expected.
What are we paying for?
Pregnancy and childbirth will cost you a round sum. Of course, having paid the money, we hope to receive expert assistance and a friendly attitude.
Waiting for a baby is a happy time that you want to spend in peace, and so that there is an adequate obstetrician-gynecologist nearby who does not prescribe extra medications and examinations for an additional fee.
Our advice: choose a doctor, not a clinic. Ask friends, read reviews on the Internet - sometimes even in the usual antenatal clinic you can find a first-class specialist. Or, conversely, having paid more than one hundred thousand rubles, face indifference and thirst for money.
How to choose?
A huge number of private clinics offer pregnancy management. In addition to the above, good reviews can be found about the following institutions: “He is a clinic”, “Euro-honey” and “Medsi”.
At state maternity hospitals and consultations, paid programs are also provided. It is worth noting that it is very difficult to find extremely positive reviews about the clinics - there are always dissatisfied patients and, unfortunately, unqualified personnel.
If you opted for paid pregnancy management, be sure to check if the institution issues sick leave and an exchange card. Remember that a birth certificate (for presentation at the hospital) can only be obtained at the antenatal clinic at the place of residence.
Trust your intuition, because the first impression is always the most correct. Take care of your nerves and the health of the baby!
