Maternité Sainte Thérèse Paris

5 key points for your maternity stay

1 - Your arrival

Access is via the main entrance, day and night.

Outside opening hours, don't hesitate to phone the midwives to let them know you're coming, or go straight to the clinic. You will be greeted by a midwife who, after reviewing your file, will examine you and inform your doctor or the doctor on duty, who will decide what action to take and/or whether to admit you.

The father may also attend the birth. He is welcome in the delivery room, subject to compliance with certain instructions, particularly in terms of hygiene.

If the father is absent, only one person of your choice may assist you during the birth.

After the birth, mothers and newborn babies must remain under supervision in the delivery room for 2 hours. For reasons of hygiene, visitors are not permitted in the delivery room during this time.

2 - Taking care of your child

A medical examination of your baby will be carried out systematically at the beginning and end of your stay by the paediatrician and at any other time if necessary.

If you wish to see the paediatrician or if you have any concerns about your baby, speak to the nurse, midwife or childcare assistant, who will pass on your request.

Supervision and care are provided by midwives, nurses and childcare assistants. Bathing and weighing are carried out every day, and we recommend that you attend and take part.

Some children who require it may receive osteopathic treatment and, on medical prescription and with your agreement, physiotherapy.

Your baby needs care, but it is you, the PARENTS, who provide the most reassuring environment to help him or her grow.

3 - How to feed your child

The decision is yours after you have received all the necessary information from your doctor, midwife and childcare assistant.

To provide optimum, personalised support for our mothers, the clinic has decided to create the post of breastfeeding consultant. The breastfeeding consultant will meet with each of our patients to give them the appropriate advice.

In particular, you will be able to discuss the most frequently raised issues with her

  • How do you prepare for breastfeeding?
  • How do I get off to a good start with breastfeeding?
  • How many feeds a day?
  • What kind of food should breastfeeding mothers eat?
  • ....

These are just some of the topics you can discuss with the whole team. You will be given various materials during your stay.

All babies are different and each family situation is unique, so this information must be adapted to your particular case.

4 - Your care

Care is provided by the midwives and nurses assigned to post-natal care. Care is planned according to your needs and your obstetrician's prescription. They will visit you every day so that you can explain any questions or fears you may have.

During the day, the midwife or nurse will check on

  • Your general condition and morale
  • Your general and obstetric parameters
  • Your medication

Contraception and post-natal rehabilitation will be discussed before your discharge. Don't hesitate to talk to your doctor about this.

It is important to discuss contraception with your doctor. He will give you a prescription in person. You must attend a post-natal check-up within two months of giving birth.

5 - Notification of birth

This must be done by the father or another person representing the family within 72 hours of the birth (the deadline is extended by one day if the last day is a Sunday or public holiday), at the Town Hall in the 17th arrondissement of Paris

  • 18, rue des Batignolles
  • 75017 Paris
  • Tel: 01 44 69 17 62.
  • Open Monday to Saturday except public holidays.
  • The nearest metro stop is "Rome".

After the birth, in the delivery room, the midwife will fill in the birth certificate and give it to you to sign, explaining how to register.

With this document and

  • Family record book or early acknowledgement
  • Identity papers for both parents

The father or a relative must go to the Mairie to register the birth. You will leave the Mairie with a birth certificate.

It is very important to follow this procedure, otherwise there will be administrative complications.

No municipal officer will visit the rooms.
