In the 'Pregnancy School' within Bilecik Training and Research Hospital, training is provided for expectant mothers to have a healthy pregnancy and birth process.
Every month, approximately 65 expectant mothers at the 'Pregnancy School' are raised awareness with trainings on prenatal, birth and postnatal periods. In the trainings given by expert teams, it is aimed for expectant mothers to learn about the birth process, overcome the fear of normal birth and cope with birth pain. The team consisting of gynecology and obstetrics, internal medicine, pediatrics, anesthesiologists, responsible midwives, physiotherapists, dietitians and social workers, as well as expectant mothers, their spouses and first-degree relatives are included in the process, ensuring that they gain a conscious understanding.
“Pregnant women can benefit from the pregnancy school free of charge”
Bilecik Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Op. Dr. Mustafa Şahin stated that the trainings reduce anxiety in pregnant women and increase the desire for normal birth. Stating that the trainings cover emotional and physical preparation processes starting from the first weeks of pregnancy, Dr. Şahin said, “Pregnant women followed at Bilecik Training and Research Hospital can benefit from our pregnancy school free of charge. In the pregnancy school, pregnant women are given detailed information about pregnancy and birth processes, shown the TDL (Trauma-Delivery-Labor and Delivery) rooms where they will give birth and informed about the birth process. All pregnant women and their relatives who complete the training are given certificates. We welcome all our pregnant women to our pregnancy school.” Emine Ayanoğlu, the midwife in charge of the Pregnancy School, emphasized that the trainings are given not only to expectant mothers but also to their relatives who can support them, and said, “Our aim is to provide the best experience by preparing an effective environment during pregnancy and after pregnancy.”
“Although we are health professionals, we have found that there are many things we do not know”
Expectant mother Beranur Yıldırım said that the trainings gave her great confidence and that she tried to apply what she learned in childbirth. Explaining her satisfaction for attending the trainings at the pregnancy school, Yıldırım said, “They also contributed to my pregnancy process afterwards. I came here with the information of my doctor during the examination, but the nurses had already directed us here for the NST (Non Stress Test). The information I received here after birth really helped me a lot. I gave birth as a normal birth.” Burak Yıldırım, who received training with his wife, stated that they established a closer bond with his child and said, “We saw the benefits of the pregnancy school, we did not expect this much. Although we are health professionals, we have found that there are many things we did not know. We saw the benefits of this after pregnancy and birth. Since we received breastfeeding training, it made our job very easy.”
Expectant mothers who benefited from the trainings shared their experiences and expressed how the process supported them.
