Michał Żebrowski went on a fairly long journey by train with his wife Aleksandra, who is nine months pregnant. The couple on social media jokingly insisted that they were ready for an emergency should the delivery take her by surprise on the go. Humorous fasting is an occasion to underline an important rule: a doctor or midwife should be present when giving birth, also in the case of home deliveries. You can also avoid giving birth in an emergency by paying attention to its early symptoms.

The Żebrowscy joke about giving birth on their own
A photo of Michał Żebrowski with a sterile medical kit designed to facilitate self-delivery in an emergency has appeared on social media. The photo was posted on the web by Ola, the actor’s wife, who is nine months pregnant. The couple were going on a trip to the capital of Podhale, and due to the advanced pregnancy, an unexpected birth was a situation that could not be completely ruled out.
Although special birth kits are actually available in medical stores, the Instagram post was humorous and referred to Żebrowski’s role of doctor Andrzej Falkowicz in the series “For good and for bad”. In fact, there are many ways to avoid unexpected birth. It is important to remain under the care of a doctor and for a woman to observe her body. What’s more, Medical consultation is recommended before a long journey in advanced pregnancy.
During pregnancy, it is good to regularly check the mother’s health, so it is worth choosing a blood test package for a pregnant woman.
Fortunately, the Żebrowski family’s expedition took place without any surprises. The expectant mother is still waiting for the birthing action. However, she did not fail to share with Instagram observers the information about unpleasant ailments, typical for the third trimester of pregnancy. Like other mothers-to-be, she is also troubled by pollakiuria, which makes her use the toilet regularly.
«We got away with it and the Wars scissors were not needed. Although the hourly use of the train toilet in advanced pregnancy and in the skiing position is also a real achievement for me, ”writes Ola Żebrowska.
Taking this opportunity, we appeal to all women, not only in advanced pregnancy: do not urinate during the so-called Malysz. This is a straightforward pathway to incontinence and bacterial infections resulting from incomplete bladder emptying.
A doctor or midwife should be present during labor
Ola Żebrowska published the photo as a joke rather than an actual announcement to the world that her husband would deliver on the train. At this point, it is worth emphasizing that, of course, a similar situation cannot be fully predicted and sometimes it happens that a child is born under extreme conditions, without the presence of a qualified doctor or midwife. However, this is something that absolutely should not be pursued or considered as an alternative to hospital delivery.
Of course, the pregnant woman has the right to choose the place of delivery – in the hospital or at home. According to the regulations, however, a doctor or midwife should be present during labor. In the case of home birth, a suitably qualified person will use their experience to carry out the delivery safely and as comfortably as possible for the patient. In case of complications, he will also inform about the necessity to transport the mother in labor to the hospital.
During pregnancy, check your health, choose an upper arm blood pressure monitor with ESH and IHB for pregnant women, use orthopedic insoles for pregnant women or supplement your diet with the Prenatal Multivitamin vitamin and mineral complex.
What are the early symptoms of an upcoming delivery?
Sudden births are rare and are most likely to occur in women who have given birth at least once. The action develops gradually and can last a whole day, but in the case of multiparous women, it can also be shortened to about 8 hours. The first phase of natural childbirth is the longest, it takes several or even several hours. During its duration, the cervix gradually dilates. Usually, we have the opportunity to notice the symptoms of the commencing labor well in advance. Early signs of an impending labor include: back and thigh pain, abdominal lowering, diarrhea, Braxton-Hicks contractions and spotting.
Noticing the symptoms of childbirth early enough gives you a chance to quickly reach the hospital or prepare for home delivery. A doctor or midwife must be present when giving birth at home.
