General criteria for the choice of motherhood

General criteria for the choice of motherhood

The primary concern is that of safety (yours and that of your baby).

If you live in the province, there may be only one maternity near you: in this case, the question of choice no longer poses.

If you absolutely want to give birth in a specific maternity, because one of your friends has recommended it to you: know that you must register as soon as possible (as soon as you learn that you are pregnant).

Finally, the gynecologist who has been following you for a number of years has advised you to have a certain kind of maternity (most often the one in which he practices or where one of these confreres practices): in this case, do not hesitate to follow his advice; On the other hand, it is he who will take care of your registration and you will have virtually nothing else to do.

Before making your decision, go visit different maternities: it is really worth it because a woman who is for the first time mom has absolutely no idea what a maternity looks like.

On the other hand, beware of advice from your loved ones (often excessive or even erroneous). Always prefer to get an idea for yourself.

Finally, try to choose a maternity that is not too far away from you because it is important to avoid long journeys when the first signs of childbirth occur.
