We will look at the delivery rooms and maternity ward during the visit. The visits for first-time mothers will provide more detailed information about the start of labor, leaving for the hospital to give birth, pain relief, childbirth, and the postpartum period. We also reserve some time for questions and discussion. Your partner/support person is welcome to join you.  
 
MIDWIVES’ Q&As

We organize Midwives’ Q&A Evenings in co-operation with maternity clinics (Lohja, Vihti, Nummela, Inkoo, Siuntio and Kirkkonummi). During these events, we go over the childbirth process and pain management, focusing especially on natural pain relief methods. You may ask the midwives questions about anything that is on your mind regarding childbirth.

Additional information about the schedule for Midwives’ Q&A Evenings is available at maternity clinics and on the Facebook page of Lohja Hospital Delivery Ward.
