You definitely don't have to be afraid to go to this maternity hospital. It will surely pleasantly surprise you.
The course of childbirth
I would sincerely like to thank the entire obstetrics team at the Faculty Hospital in Královské Vinohrady.
Most of all, I want to thank Dr. Grollová and midwife Vodičková, who guided me through the delivery. I felt very good and safe.
I have no doubts about the expertise of the doctor; moreover, she is very empathetic and supportive, and it is clear that she loves her work. This is exactly the kind of doctor I would wish for every woman during childbirth. She creates a sense of security and that everything will go well.
I gave birth to my first child at another facility with extensive injuries and complications for both of us. Of course, there were more aspects, and the care here was also very good, but I had great concerns about how I would manage the second delivery. The doctor gave me courage during the consultations, carefully assessed everything medically, and recommended a natural birth.
On the day of induction, everything went beautifully and very quickly. I joked that we would be done by lunch, and indeed at 12:17, we welcomed a healthy, beautiful girl without complications.
Stay during the postpartum period
Everything went smoothly, without pressure and with respect to my wish to be as much as possible with the newborn.
The care during the postpartum period is very good, everything connects well. The pediatricians are also great, which is also very important. I mentioned the position of the baby's legs, and on the 2nd day in the morning, they came from rehabilitation and showed me a simple stretching exercise and reassured me that everything will be fine.
I have already arranged for a specialized consultation, where I believe they will help me with the issues from the first birth. It is also a beautiful and pleasant environment here. The food is also very good.
Overall rating of the maternity hospital
Everything went smoothly. I gave birth at night and alone, so the staff could dedicate 100% of their attention to me. A midwife who was training was present, she was very nice, communicative, and guided me well through the birth.
Compared to the year 2023, there has been a significant reduction in materials for the baby - only a few diapers, and one changing mat. In the room, this year (2025) there is baby cosmetics from the brand nobilis tilia available for testing.
The behavior of the healthcare workers was excellent, except for one nurse from the maternity ward, who made remarks that I found inappropriate.
Weighing and supplementing the baby was due to the lactation just starting and also because after three days, the baby wasn't gaining weight. At home, completely without supplementation, only with breast milk.
