General Description
After natural births and caesarian sections, new mothers are hospitalized in the Maternity A Department. They are transferred there after two hours of observation in the delivery room or recovery room (after a caesarian section). The Maternity A Department offers a flexible full or partial rooming-in system, that allows mothers to keep their baby with them throughout their hospitalization period.
Mothers in the rooming-in system receive breastfeeding counseling from an experienced team of nurses in the neonatal department and from breastfeeding counselors.
There is group breastfeeding counseling for all women every day at 07:30 in the nursing room, located in the Neonatal Department.
Mothers are given advice and support on a wide range of topics. Details can be found on the notice board in the lobby.
The Department is designed to provide maximum comfort and privacy for each new mother and there are rooms for one, two, three and four women. Assignment to specific rooms is usually for medical reasons, and locations can be changed during hospitalization.
Mothers feel tired after giving birth, and want to rest, so the Department is very strict about enforcing visiting hours, to help the mothers recover as quickly as possible.
Visiting Hours
10:30 - 12:00
16:00 - 17:15
19:00 - 20:30
Partners can stay the whole day, but not at night.
During their stay, mothers are given tips on looking after themselves. Before discharge, a nurse gives instructions on the first six weeks after birth, and the changes which are felt during this time.
Discharge:
- Women after natural births are discharged 48 hours after birth.
- Women after caesarian sections are discharged three days after surgery.
In order to be discharged, Identity Cards (teudot zehut) belonging to the mother and her partner must be shown.
We are delighted to be able to share this wonderful experience with new mothers, and will be pleased to answer any questions.
