The project #IGIVEBIRTHINPEACE was created to support pregnant women and both parents after childbirth during the COVID-19 pandemic. We offer expert advice from midwives and support to pregnant women and new parents during and after the challenging times of the pandemic. Rodimvklidu.cz is here for pregnant women who are waiting for childbirth, women in their sixth trimester, and both parents after childbirth who are in the maternity ward or at home with the newborn.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood bring many new questions and unexpected challenges, and our aim is to provide parents with expert answers to all their questions. The purpose of our website and helpline is to provide support, reassurance, and information to expectant and new parents about health, pregnancy, childbirth, and reproductive healthcare. We want to promote quality and safe care during pregnancy, childbirth, and after delivery—and thus reduce as much as possible not only the impact of the pandemic crisis on the physical and mental health of women and children, but also the impact of any difficult life situation that may arise due to the influence of society-wide events and other factors.
We are here for all women and men who need support, expert information, and respectful care, whether they are single parents or women who have experienced obstetric violence. The helpline and the counselling room are operated by midwives who have received training in both telephone and e-mail counselling as well as basic training in crisis intervention.
I am a midwife and environmentalist. I worked for two years in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the Ústí nad Orlicí Hospital. I am currently raising my three-year-old son while organizing antenatal preparation courses and exercises for pregnant women in Rychnov nad Kněžnou. I am interested in the topics of maternal mental health and burnout prevention. In the future, I would like to focus on community care for women.
Working in healthcare has been a part of my life since high school. I graduated as a laboratory assistant, but I knew I needed to be more in contact with people, which is why I chose to study midwifery. During my studies, I already knew that this profession would be my life’s mission. I strive to constantly educate myself on the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Because I like to pass on everything I know and have learned, I also completed a degree in pedagogy, which allows me to better understand the needs of the students who come to the delivery room to learn the art of midwifery from us. Studying pedagogy also allowed me to improve my communication skills and gain a deeper understanding of human psychology. I work in the delivery room of a perinatal center which allows me to get to know different fates of women. I also work in a midwifery center where I provide antenatal preparation courses and individual consultations to women. Working on the helpline gives me a lot of purpose because I think it is necessary in today’s age of the Internet to give women a place where they can ask questions and receive answers at a professional level. Whether I am caring for women in the delivery room or helping them through the helpline, I always strive to provide individualized, professional, and empathetic care. Because what is more than a satisfied client with a smile on her lips and a baby in her arms?
I am a midwife, antenatal preparation lecturer, and psychotherapist. I work with women who are experiencing burdensome conditions during their pregnancy, like anxiety, persistent depression, or intense fear of childbirth. I also work with women who have long been troubled by negative experiences of childbirth and wish to change. I focus on holistic care for women’s health, combining care for the soul with physical techniques such as watsu aquatic therapy. I work with pregnant women, couples who wish to become pregnant, and women with chronic problems.
I am a community midwife, aromatherapist, and massage therapist for children and babies. I am currently on parental leave while I work for the I Give Birth in Peace helpline. I dedicate my lifelong learning to supporting women in taking care of their own health and promoting healthy pregnancy and natural childbirth. I am a member of the Czech Union of Midwives.
I have been a midwife throughout all my professional life, since 1983. I have experienced pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period not only myself (five times) but thousands of times alongside my clients. I have been influenced not only by my practice which primarily focuses on the community sphere, but also by the countless seminars, courses, and conferences I have attended throughout my career. A formative experience for me was an internship in the Netherlands in 1996 and then participation in international conferences of The International Confederation of Midwives and Midwifery Today. I am an active member of the Czech Union of Midwives where I served two terms as Vice President. I am currently a member of the Ethics Committee of the Czech Union of Midwives. I am a lecturer in antenatal preparation and preparation for parenthood. I am also involved with the Academy of Antenatal Lecturers at Aperio and a member of the Working Group on Obstetrics of the Czech Women’s Lobby and the Working Group on Obstetrics and Midwifery of the Government Council for Gender Equality.
