The Horrible Experience of Giving Birth in Russia

    Aside from the overall failing health system in Russia, the real-life horror stories from parents who have given birth there are influencing many pregnant mothers to travel to the United States (via Los Angeles) to have their babies in 2016.

    The Outdated Health System in Russia

    All it takes is a short look at reports from recent years to know just how terrible the health care system is in Russia. For an expectant mother in the last half of her pregnancy, it is devastating to think that there could be complications (caused by hospital conditions) during the delivery of her newborn baby. An interviewed lady from the Los Angeles Times once referred to the hospitals in Russia as still being in the Middle Ages. It is no wonder those who can afford will be looking to be in a nice Los Angeles hospital where the maternal care centers are ten times healthier and much more helpful.

     The horrible health care centers in Russia are not anything new. There have been many people as far back as the 1970’s who have taken record of how badly taken care of patients are in Russia, notably pregnant women. For example, Maria Arbatova, author of a vivid book entitled “My Name is Woman” made her story about almost dying while having a child in Russia known, even way back then. There have been many mothers since the 1970’s who have spoken out about their grim experiences when having a child there.

    Real Maternity Horror Stories in Russia

    These days, mothers who have had bad experiences in Russian hospitals (whether it was because those foreign medical facilities were understaffed or unsanitary) make them known on the internet. For example, one brave woman named Annie Pikulina wrote down a list of terrible occurrences she endured during her maternity care in Russia (such as the fact that she could not have her husband in the room with her while giving birth) and talked openly on YouTube about it to the public. Blogs such as Global Voices are home to posts such as one in particular entitled “Russia: Blogger Memories of Soviet Maternity Hospitals”. In it, women share their mortifying stories, such as ones pointing out that no women’s underwear was allowed or others tales that compared their modern-day childbirth experiences to deliveries that went on during past wartime situations.

    It has become easier today for mothers to relocate to places like Los Angeles, California in order to have their child in a safer way. At Medical Voyage, we are more than happy to make the transition from country to country as easy as possible. You do not have to endure the horrific conditions of a Russian hospital when giving birth to your new child. We can help you with everything from attaining Visa’s to finding a comfortable Maternity Suite that’ll be just for you, and make your childbirth experience a much more pleasant one than in places such as Russia.

    The Advantages of Giving Birth in the United States

    As many expectant mothers around the globe know, the United States health care system is at the top of the list when it comes to the healthiest facilities to deliver a newborn baby. Not only is North America the best place to have a child, but it is also the safest, least-deadly location on earth for a childbirth to take place. Take a report that was made by CNN a couple of years ago that examined the findings of maternal deaths around the world. The numbers were shocking to readers hailing from many countries, and still have millions of expecting mothers in foreign lands ready to travel to the United States for more appropriate hospital delivery options in 2016.

  

    Hygiene seems to be the biggest problem with giving birth to a child in developing countries. The reason that things are so unsanitary is because in many places across the world, the customs and practices used by health professionals are severely outdated. There are even places where women have to give birth outdoors, or are pressured to have a child before it is time, such as in Nepal. As a result, reports and data show that there are well over 530,000 maternal deaths that occur in the world annually, and virtually all of them happen in developing countries. 

   

    The reason that the U.S. is chosen as the place to give birth to a healthy child in a sanitary, medication-equipped hospital is because there are numerous countries that don’t give a mother and her unborn child the medicinal attention that they need. In fact, in places such as the Netherlands, doctors only are involved in the delivery if there are complications, and midwives do most of the work. What’s worse is that even if this mother does go to a hospital in her home country, an epidural is catered around the doctor’s schedule, and sometimes even laughed upon. In the U.S., an epidural is always an option for mothers in labor.

   

   There are also many other places that have the same practices of labeling painful, natural births as the top choice for expectant mothers. Germany, for example, is another location where many pregnant women are beginning to depart from before going into labor, being that most of the doctors there also don’t step in unless they are absolutely needed for any major problems during delivery. Other places where sometimes untrained midwives are the primary caregivers during childbirth include countries such as Turkey, and the use of painkillers is frowned upon in places like Japan.

    Birth tourism, which operates in a legal gray area, is on the rise in the US. Those, who travel to the U.S. for the delivery of their unborn child, are making the smart and healthy decision. In addition to take advantage of the best medical options available for them to deliver a healthy child into the world, the child born on the US soil is automatically becoming a US citizen according to the Constitution of the United States. The US remains to be a lucrative destination for medical expectant mothers and is expected to be growing, unless the lawmakers change the law.

                   Sylvester Stallone’s Corrected Facial Asymmetry

   

    Some people who chose from the many plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills may want to get a particular procedure done in order to look as beautiful as the many celebrities in the area. Still, there are many times people get them done because of a really serious condition. It may not be anything that is life threatening, but they may need it for professional purposes. Take Sylvester Stallone, for example, the majorly inspiration actor from all of the great “Rocky” movies and who is now the star of another boxing drama blockbuster on the big screen called “Creed”. He has no problem with the concept of having had surgical work done, and that men do it too…even the ones with tough images like him!

     Mr. Stallone was born with destroyed nerves in the side of his face, reportedly because he was taken from the womb with forceps. What happened in the end was his mouth was left permanently crooked because of it. Well, according to People Magazine, it presented a problem when he was about to play as the iconic character ‘Rocky Balboa’, being that he had lost a lot of weight for that very athletic role as a boxer. After he dropped the pounds, the left side of his face started to do the same, so he had it repaired.

    If have an ailment that you may have been born with that cannot be taken care of in your home country, call us at Medical Voyage to make Beverly Hills your place to get your procedure done. Even if you were not born with a defect in your appearance like Sylvester was, if you need help with your visa or have questions about finding the right doctor, or even a great lodging facility in Beverly Hills, don’t hesitate to give us a call today for your over the phone quote.
