Health. On New Years Eve, three babies cried out for the first time

On the night of December 31, Bel-Air maternity has really not been idle. “We have had several births, yes, three to be precise,” explains Dr. Marie-France Olieric, head of the gynecology-obstetrics department of the hospital. Births which, according to the doctor, went very well. “There were no complications for the three mothers, it was a more positive end of the year. After months marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and its repercussions, an evening where everything went smoothly was undoubtedly not too much. “We had a little Julien at 11:15 pm, who weighs 3.120 kilograms, Marceau at 12:30 am, 2.9 kg, and Andrew at 4 am for 3.360 kg. “

In the delivery room everything was normal, or almost. “The fathers continue to be able to be present. Their temperature is taken at the entrance and a questionnaire must be completed by them. If there are symptoms, they are tested. Generally speaking, mothers are careful. In the delivery room, even if we are all protected, it is not always easy, we have to make sure that it remains a happy moment. Where there was a real problem, it was during cesarean sections in the operating room during the two confinements. ”

And once the little one is born, the doctor assures her, “we are making sure they can get out as quickly as possible so that we can be together at home. Because for the moment, the fathers cannot sleep there and it is not possible for the siblings and the rest of the family to come to see the newborn. We try to limit crossbreeding at the maternity ward. The more traffic there is, the greater the risk of contamination. “
