The star admitted that she does not plan to use the services of Western clinics and she needs advice from experienced Russian mothers.
Victoria Lopyreva, who recently announced pregnancy, decided not to hide from followers anything related to the upcoming birth and motherhood. Unlike her friend, singer Nyusha, who hid an interesting situation until the very last moment, the star is ready to discuss even the most intimate details of the upcoming sacrament. By the way, now it is the young mother Nyusha who is the main adviser to Victoria. True, the pregnant Lopyreva admits that she does not plan to fully adopt her friend’s experience and first wants to understand the need for certain measures. To help in this matter, Vika decided to call on her subscribers.
“Young mother Nyusha always has something to share with her expectant mother, and this is not only a dessert for a delicious dinner, but also a lot of useful information about where, how and what? In America, it is very common to invite a special woman for childbirth – doula, who creates a special environment during the process (candles, music, aroma), tells you how to breathe correctly, draws up a birth plan and monitors your morale. Sounds cool, but my question is: does it all matter when you have contractions and all your thoughts are definitely not about what scent you chose for the aroma lamp, but about when will it all end? Do you think you need such a person during childbirth? ” – wrote Victoria on her Instagram.
Lopyreva also asked to advise the contacts of specialists in Moscow, hinting that she was going to give birth at home: “Do we have such services in Russia? Share your experience and contacts. “
The post was immediately overgrown with a huge number of comments with advice, and opinions, as always, were divided. Some mothers urged Vika to use the services of an assistant, pointing out that her support is very important in the first birth. “It’s not about the smell of the oils. She will be your guide during childbirth. Childbirth is not a medical ritual where only doctors should be. It is you, your emotions and pain must be able to live. And the first time, you can give up quickly without support, ”advised @inna_usa_.
Other followers took a strictly opposite position, pointing out that the focus should not be on finding a doula, but on finding an experienced obstetrician-gynecologist. “No candles or scents. Before giving birth, you need to learn to breathe correctly on your own or during courses, to find points, by pressing on which you can “divert” the pain. The main thing is that a professional and just a good person takes delivery. It is the obstetrician who knows and sees what is happening, ”shared her experience @ricamoamo.

Ekaterina Kostina, perinatal psychologist:
“There are situations in which a woman in labor really needs qualified support. Then it makes sense to organize a partner childbirth, involving a doula. This person must have basic knowledge and skills, provide household and psychological support. Here it is important not to be mistaken with the choice of specialists, since childbirth is a sacrament that an outsider can easily violate. My advice – if you want to organize a partner birth, start this process in advance so that you can find your specialist. “
