Probably they wouldn't send them away if they showed up at the hospital and they were already visibly near the end of labour but there would be no staff specially trained. It would be just the emergency room staff I guess?
I couldn't imagine driving for two hours while in labour. What an absolute nightmare! You wouldn't be able to get in any positions or do anything to help relieve it slightly.
My entire labor was spent sitting in the car... I was going into the hos[ital for a checkup appointment at 3:30 and she was born at 3:27, ten minutes after arriving at the hospital. I went into labor basically as we were leaving and it was a 2 hour drive. If not for having the appointment my baby would have been born at home or in the car.,
This happens here in Norway too. My mum had to go in an ambulance for 2 1/2 hours to the nearest hospital. She nearly died the one time from extreme blood loss... They call the hospital the slaughter house... Says it all really. Not only that but from September to late May you can expect extreme snow storms over the mountains, and they therefore close roads for some time! They are still denying to build a hospital closer to the area.
Some women can give birth up to 1 hour or quicker before they start going into labor...I started around 930...he came at 10.40 he was a day from a month early...it could have went terrible...I didn't even make it to a hospital because I didn't exactly know what was happening because it it was my first time and my mom could never have kids...I was adopted...I barley made it 2 miles to my doctors office I was there for like 10 minuets 5 pushes and he came...I almost had him in the car....this is a terrible situation to put a mother in or anyone in..
Lee Cherry I can't imagine being in labor for that long it has to be terrible just the hour I experience was terrifying but I wouldn't change it for anything In the world I love my son
This happened in my town in America, they closed the maternity ward after the new hospital was built . Most births now have to be scheduled ahead of time and induced in nearby towns/city. Ambulance drivers deliver more babies now because they don't make it in time.
Mandi Mine as well, as did all the surrounding rural hospitals. Almost 2 hours to get to a maternity ward. They don't actually have much left in our rural hospitals. They have the ER and a few beds due to a mandate of how many miles can be in between emergency rooms. Basically they evaluate patients and send them elsewhere if it is anything serious.
Jesus... The nearest hospital for me is like.... 10 minutes in car maybe and that's not even my town. Next is maybe 20-60 I'm not sure. But that is insane! I would be terrified being a first time mom having to face this
I'm from India.. And I live in rural area but here1 are many hospital only 10 to 15 minutes... Wow I'm shocked... I thought Sweden was way better than india..lol I was wrong
I'm just back in the UK after 10 years in Alaska. There if your rural you either prepare for a midwife home birth or you go stay in the nearest town/city that has a hospital a week or two before your due date. Works for most people.
This is super crazy smh... to hope to make it to your perferred/assigned hospital before a baby arrives is one thing but to close down the already limited maternity wards is just dumb... when i was about to have our 4th baby i barely made it to the hospital(i had her in less than 20 mins after arrival) and we lived less than 15 mins away. If my hubby had to drive me almost 2 hrs she definately wouldve been born in the car.
That's how it is for my cousins who live out in the country, and my grandmother even had to drive my grandpa to the hospital herself after he had a stroke because it'd be faster than waiting for an ambulance
This was normal in Alaska. The nearest hospital was two hours from my town. My mom just went and stayed in the town with the hospital before I was born. I did have a friend who was born in the car on the way. His middle name is "Chevy". You can guess why.
Why they don't ask for a clinic i don't know what to call the mini hospital that offers basic health care.. But a clinic for delivery in their own town..? Only 2 delivery rooms and 3 couveuse, you'll need one doctor and 2 midwife or 1 not more, we had such thing in faraway countries that suffered from the same problem.. The mini hospital has nurses and doctors , ER first line treatment too is provided such as suturing and stopping a bleed.. Really saved time and money and lives.
Not sure if this is much different in other small communities across the world. Maybe this is a noticeable difference in Sweden where there is socialism and lots of health centers but in USA this is pretty normal.
D S This is not "normal" in the U.S. In the U.S. couples don't get a course on how to deliver a baby in a car. In the U.S. a woman might hive birth in a car if she is rushing to the hospital. There are maternity wards in every hospital. There is a wide support system in the U.D. for pregnant women. I am surprised that Sweden is so backward in this respect. Shame on Sweden.
In Malaysia, the government many clinics in remote areas specialising in pregnancy, motherhood and baby health complete with doctors, nurses, pharmacies and midwife.
SO basically once you are 9 months pregnant you need to either relocate to the motel close to the hospital or sleep in the hospital waiting room till the baby arrives. Yikes!
Time to start being smart about it & planning home births. If problems arise fight the government to pay for the helicopter/ambulance. Once the government has to pay $250,0000.00 per flight that _might_ wake them up. The cuts sound like they are coming from an old man or old men, are they??
Shocking they report on this in sweeden but it's happening here in the uk. A lot of expectant mothers in the Highlands of Scotland have to go to inverness to receive any kind of maternity care which extends beyond the basic. This means if there is an emergency you have to travel in an ambulence for two hours! Lord knows what happens in a emergency which doesn't have that time. We're running a similar risk here in the uk.
the hospital where my mom gave birth was a good hour away. There is one just 10 mins from us but the one in chicago is better. my dad said that they just waited in the waiting room until the pain started
This is deplorable! They need yo rethink providing maternity care in the most rural areas. Women in larger communities can probably rely on midwives more then women in rural communities where travel time alone creates a much more dangerous situation. I think the government is assuming that new mothers have hours to get to a hospital- not necessarily true! Not to mention how nervous the new dad whose driving his wife in labour pains is distracting him, is not the safest driver on the road!
Dear God, Please fix this Hospital and every other Hospital that is like this one 💖 Please make it so all the Ladies and babies get Delivered safe and the babies too 💖 Thank You God 👍🍯💖 Amen 👍🍯💖🤗🙌🌈💞
Im panicking when I hear the woman breathing heavily and im not even pregnant...weeeew I would panic even more if I see a pregnant woman in delivery of the baby.I wish there would be changes for them to the better.
I had this problem here, I watched the woman, he water broken her obviously in labor being told no maternity ward and her telling them to fuck off. They took her back they birthed her child. It is and was bullshit.
Wow. This is the very first time I have ever heard of a flaw in Sweden. I am American and if you’ve gone to university and taken courses on what the world’s society is really about then you know that Sweden in fact is the best country to live in. Very modern in their ways of thinking and ahead of the rest of the world socially. Basically if you live in Sweden then you will probably have a good life and be taken care of if needed.
In Asia, pregnant women may plan to have an operation to take a baby out at hospitals, on exactly day they want, no pain , just a small scar, you can do that one or twice !
Its simple to deliver a baby in the car but things can go badly wrong such as placenta abruptia or post partum haemmorhage. Sweden's mortality rate will go up if they don't resolve the situation.
Didn't expect this from Sweden, known for Gender Equality and Taking Women's needs seriously... Doesn't Rural women deserve to benefit from Feminism and economic growth too ??
Two hour drive is nothing. Try being a Fijian living on an island with no doctor, catches a boat the the main island a few months prior to due date, to give birth in a hospital. After the birth they often can’t return to their home for months until the baby has had their immunization. Easy for these Europeans to stay in the city with the hospital before her due date, if they really want to avoid a car birth, simple and they have the money to afford it. Yes, try to change the system, but it is manageable.
here in my country, there are some pregnant women who prefer to be helped by shaman to deliver their babies instead of going to hospital or call a midwife.
Maternity wards wouldnt close if theres enough women that would give birth so that the maternity ward would function... but sweden has a very low birth rate
You_Don't_ Know_Me It shouldn't be about birth rates. It's about basic services at all hospitals. A hospital should not be allowed to remain open if they can not provide for the basic needs of the citizens in the community. Of course, there are cases like heart attack or stroke where you need access to tools and equipment that not all hospitals have or can afford but it should be expected that the staff at the hospital can diagnose, triage, and provide basic care for you until you can be safely transported. I work at a Level 2 trauma center/hospital. If someone comes in and is a higher level of care (e.g. Level 1 trauma), we still stabilize that person while we work on setting up the appropriate type of transportation (ambulance vs Life Flight). We don't say "sorry you're too sick and injured and we can't deal with you" and send them on their way. Closing down maternity wards is essentially doing this. You are denying access to care and refusing to provide basic care to all patients who arrive at your facility. It doesn't take much to have qualified and trained staff available at all times. Chances are there are still staff there that are trained and can do this job, it's simply a cost-cutting mechanism that harms the community.
That wonderful spot in your life where you thought having a kid was the best idea ever? Yep, that was the pinnacle.....then 2 weeks later a line turn pink. Most Swedish women are smart enough to avoid falling into that trap of insane biologically influenced thought.
SHUT UP!!! i'm smarter than you Sweden has one of the highest birth rates of all western countries. Actually, other rich countries send policy makers to Sweden to get advice on how to get their own birth rate up.
OMG what is up with BBC, i dont even know why the maternity wards are closing down, all i know is they are and people are protesting, come on BBC. why is the government closing them down there has got to be a reason, is it financing or is it that due to the low birthrate it's not economical for them to put and entire maternity ward in a place where they may only have a handful of pregnancy for the years. you guys have to do better than this, even if you did include it and i missed it somehow its still your fault cause that means you did not highlight the main pionts. this is why new media will take over cases if you gave me a camera i would have been able to get the real information and not just a few people and their experiences
Almost all of the parties in the Swedish parliament want's to centralize people into cities instead of the outer most regions, except that they are doing it too fast..
if there is no chance to get to the hospital in time why not give birth at home? still need planning and hopefully a midwife, but makes waaaay more sense than taking a course in how to deliver in a cramped car with no space, no running water and whatnot.
The system does not work that way yet. To have a midwife on call 24/7 ready to drive. But still, the midwife would be stationed at the hospital so she would not reach the mother any faster
This isn't common in the United States. In MOST states you drive a minimum of 30 minutes to get to your local hospital and all have maternity wards. In some states the drive is further away, but there is no lack of maternity wards, and NO classes on giving birth in your car.
M. Happy you clearly have not been to the Midwest or even some states in the north or south where the nearest hospital can be a couple hours away, it's not unique to Sweden every large country has that problem and the US is no exception at least Sweden has universal health care.
And people ask the you get generation why they don't want children! Between the extreme exspence of hospitals, childcare, and situations like this, no wonder
In the car, kneel on the Back Seat. Don't sit in the front seat; there's no way to 'open up' in that position. Stay home & give birth on your knees against the wall, having covered the floor. Wait until the umbilical cord stops pulsating before cutting it.
You're showing this as a fatality, this happens a lot in my country, since there is not enough doctors, and the midwifes seem to forget how to deliver women 😏😏, they don't want to take any risk because of the enormous amount of law suits they are dragged into... so, they convey women ballading when in labor...
shammy dammy Yes I know that but every birth certificate has to say a hospital name but the baby wasn't born In The Hospital so what would it say on it!?
It says the city/town/township/village/county...wherever the child is born. The same as children born at home, there is no requirement to have a hospital name on it.
Michelle Rekuc And who would pay? Not everyone could afford to do that. Not to mention unexpected things can happen with pregnancies like premature births.
These babies can die or anything can happen how is it that stupid people close a maternity ward that's illegal because people have complications and need C-sections and care and everything else that comes with a baby they can't expect people to deliver themselves or it would be a lawsuit if anything ever happened
One of the HUGE flaws with socialized medicine. The host family I lived with in Ecuador described this as one of the many issues that were involved and why they paid for private service even in the city.
not being funny, but you life in a rural area, just a few people living there. how can you expect to have a full running maternity unit close by!? It costs a lot of money to have a hospital on standby with no patients. its your decision to life in the area, so make sure you know what to expect?!
Swedish Hopstitals are a mess, some people even die in the hospitals because of the lack of food and they take months upon months to tell you if you have cancer and when you will be treated by then the cancer has already spread more.
Swedish goverment spends hundreads of millions in Immigrants but shuts down a maternity center for their own people. I bet if this had muslims complaining they would fix it asap....ridiculous
Jules 😂😂😂😂😂I was looking for an out of context comment like yours glad you didn't disappoint. A tree fell in the forest do you also want to blame immigration also the summer is over, do you want to blame Muslims too. Thank you for making me laugh your obsession is hilarious 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
We have excess midwives in the Philippines, take some of them and bring them in ur neighborhood and they are used to 24 hour on call by their neighbors.
Not everyone can go through home birth some people require professional help and special cases may need a c section and some can’t do it without medication
This is exactly why universal healthcare is a big no no. I will not allow the government to make the choices a woman and a family should make. This is so sad
Kimberly Yang do you think private healthcare means better health care? You are absolutely wrong. You are more likely to not receive care if healthcare is private. Private hospitals can deny you life saving surgeries or treatments just because your chances of not making it are low. They can deny you attention or charge you in deby for your ENTIRE life. This women reached the hospital and she wasnt charged a DIME. What if you are poor and cant afford going to a hospital to give birth? People like you make me sick. I work in hospitals, in PUBLIC, FREE, hospitals, and you cant imagine how good it does to society that healthcare is free. Unfortunately, im in a 3rd world country, and our resources are not enough. But im afraid of the day that our government could shut down public healthcare. Many many many people would have their lifes shattered.
miriam stenlund jag själv e oxå 15, o enligt mig så tycker jag att det ej är så konstigt att dem har en sådan dialekt för att varje gång då när jag hör svenskar prata på engelska så låter dem nästan exakt likadant, så jag fattar ej riktigt varför det e så konstigt för dig
Anja Fourie these ppl learn english since 1st grade and has it as ome of the main subjects all the way through all the schoolyears. However, my comment came out ruder than i intended to and for that i apologize. I simply mean just whenever i hear someone from sweden speak english the accent (that every swede has) is just really annoying me, but that could be because i'm from sweden too, idk. Sorry
How can a hospital deny a woman who is in labor? Labor is an emergency. It's life and death. This is unbelievable.
Probably they wouldn't send them away if they showed up at the hospital and they were already visibly near the end of labour but there would be no staff specially trained. It would be just the emergency room staff I guess?
junbh2 yeah and at that point you mighty as well birth birth the child yourself
Darlene B. They wont be denyed. There vill just not be a maternity ward or midwifes at that hospital at al time.
nurses are also trained to assist in giving birth.
Darlene B. Exactly....against Hypocratis owth
I couldn't imagine driving for two hours while in labour. What an absolute nightmare! You wouldn't be able to get in any positions or do anything to help relieve it slightly.
Goob That's not really how labour and giving birth works.
Too painful to sit like that during the contractions that slowly open the cervix. Just get onto your knees in loose clothing without underwear.
RubyOpheliaQuinn been there done that and my baby is premature but God is so good and she came out healthy
Charmine Ponce I'm glad that everything worked out and she got here safe and healthy.

In Sweden aproximately 120.000 babies born every year and they can't even deal with that number unbelievable.
This happened in my town in America, they closed the maternity ward after the new hospital was built . Most births now have to be scheduled ahead of time and induced in nearby towns/city. Ambulance drivers deliver more babies now because they don't make it in time.
H NENGU they are called EMTs or paramedics...not ambulance drivers....
Mandi Mine as well, as did all the surrounding rural hospitals. Almost 2 hours to get to a maternity ward. They don't actually have much left in our rural hospitals. They have the ER and a few beds due to a mandate of how many miles can be in between emergency rooms. Basically they evaluate patients and send them elsewhere if it is anything serious.

If People start working and pay taxes we can be that again. That ges for companies that hire cheep workers with NO unioncontract?
They are spending all their money on immigrants lol
it happens everywhere, yet only some countries get to help from these videos or other things.
People aren't having children anymore. Well the Swedish people aren't, the immigrants from the Middle East are out breeding them. It's sad
That's so scary I hope something changes soon

Dreadful when money rules,instead of giving birth

im so confused why the car delivery course needs to tell you to remove the seatbelt
Its simple to deliver a baby in the car but things can go badly wrong such as placenta abruptia or post partum haemmorhage. Sweden's mortality rate will go up if they don't resolve the situation.
How to give birth in a car?

Reading is fundamental. The video said that had low birth rates so it was closed as a part of budget cuts
They said right at the beginning that the community had a low birthrate and that it was closed as part of ongoing budget cuts.
My birthday is on 9th June! Happy birthday to the son!! Late one I know but better late than never 😊😀
Open them back up
Im from India.. i feel our hospital facilities are much better than theirs
you know... you hear about Sweden being so advanced & equal everything. best this & best that. why are the clinics closing? not enough gynoes?
if there is no chance to get to the hospital in time why not give birth at home? still need planning and hopefully a midwife, but makes waaaay more sense than taking a course in how to deliver in a cramped car with no space, no running water and whatnot.
The system does not work that way yet. To have a midwife on call 24/7 ready to drive. But still, the midwife would be stationed at the hospital so she would not reach the mother any faster
This isn't common in the United States. In MOST states you drive a minimum of 30 minutes to get to your local hospital and all have maternity wards. In some states the drive is further away, but there is no lack of maternity wards, and NO classes on giving birth in your car.
M. Happy you clearly have not been to the Midwest or even some states in the north or south where the nearest hospital can be a couple hours away, it's not unique to Sweden every large country has that problem and the US is no exception at least Sweden has universal health care.
In the South it's not like that. Every town has a close hospital and every town has a maternity ward.
Lol, the sign at 3:13
bon documentaire...
pif good documentary?
And people ask the you get generation why they don't want children! Between the extreme exspence of hospitals, childcare, and situations like this, no wonder
photocopy of the mother
I was born in that hospital!
How
In the car, kneel on the Back Seat. Don't sit in the front seat; there's no way to 'open up' in that position. Stay home & give birth on your knees against the wall, having covered the floor. Wait until the umbilical cord stops pulsating before cutting it.
You're showing this as a fatality, this happens a lot in my country, since there is not enough doctors, and the midwifes seem to forget how to deliver women 😏😏, they don't want to take any risk because of the enormous amount of law suits they are dragged into... so, they convey women ballading when in labor...
In my part of Texas we do not have maternity wards. Babies are born and kept in the rooms with the mothers.
And what would there birth certificates say or do they not get one
Of course they get a birth certificate. Babies are born on planes and get birth certificates.
shammy dammy
Yes I know that but every birth certificate has to say a hospital name but the baby wasn't born In The Hospital so what would it say on it!?
It says the city/town/township/village/county...wherever the child is born. The same as children born at home, there is no requirement to have a hospital name on it.
Keep having children Swedes ! 🇸🇪 We need more intelligent, modest, unassuming, secular people.
what if even is swedenn anymorde?
Why don't these woman rent a hotel/house close to there due date, that way if they go into labor it doesn't really matter since there so close
Michelle Rekuc And who would pay? Not everyone could afford to do that. Not to mention unexpected things can happen with pregnancies like premature births.
Ridiculous
These babies can die or anything can happen how is it that stupid people close a maternity ward that's illegal because people have complications and need C-sections and care and everything else that comes with a baby they can't expect people to deliver themselves or it would be a lawsuit if anything ever happened
Sweden needs midwives.
One of the HUGE flaws with socialized medicine. The host family I lived with in Ecuador described this as one of the many issues that were involved and why they paid for private service even in the city.
Take on more migrants 🙄🙄🙄
not being funny, but you life in a rural area, just a few people living there. how can you expect to have a full running maternity unit close by!? It costs a lot of money to have a hospital on standby with no patients. its your decision to life in the area, so make sure you know what to expect?!
Beauty Unboxing seriously decision to live there, some people don’t have a choiceb
Funny, don't forget that's life.
Swedish Hopstitals are a mess, some people even die in the hospitals because of the lack of food and they take months upon months to tell you if you have cancer and when you will be treated by then the cancer has already spread more.
Swedish goverment spends hundreads of millions in Immigrants but shuts down a maternity center for their own people. I bet if this had muslims complaining they would fix it asap....ridiculous
Jules 😂😂😂😂😂I was looking for an out of context comment like yours glad you didn't disappoint. A tree fell in the forest do you also want to blame immigration also the summer is over, do you want to blame Muslims too. Thank you for making me laugh your obsession is hilarious 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
4:36 my big sister :D
Here is an idea... move to the city a month before you are due
In the northern parts of Canada, women expecting babies often move into a town a couple of weeks before they're due, so it is done in other places.
MidnightFlower13 and everyone else should pay for their decision to live in the country ?
Move permanently, no. Take a temporary birthing vacation, yes. Just consider it part of the costs of having a baby.
We have excess midwives in the Philippines, take some of them and bring them in ur neighborhood and they are used to 24 hour on call by their neighbors.
I was born 6 weeks early. That won't work.
And then they say Sweden is a perfect social country oh my God
Why exactly are they fussing? It's like this all over in America. 2 or 3 hours to a hospital is nothing.
This story is wacked
Female priest always amazed.
I was born June 9
Two words..... Home birth
DayDreamingWhispers ASMR that doesn’t always work what about if the baby is in distress what are they supposed to do then
Two words. Postpartum hemorrhage.
That isn't always an option for everyone. Don't be ignorant.
Not everyone can go through home birth some people require professional help and special cases may need a c section and some can’t do it without medication
When the mother bleed after delivery please dont just put your hand in the mother stomach.... 😐why dont u give i.m syntometrine or pitocin??😑
Ester Rani Uterine massage is also in the protocol for management of PPH.
Wooow
It's totally better to have baby at home. It's free and natural. Wish I had done that.
Welcome to socialism.
This is exactly why universal healthcare is a big no no. I will not allow the government to make the choices a woman and a family should make. This is so sad
Kimberly Yang do you think private healthcare means better health care? You are absolutely wrong. You are more likely to not receive care if healthcare is private. Private hospitals can deny you life saving surgeries or treatments just because your chances of not making it are low. They can deny you attention or charge you in deby for your ENTIRE life. This women reached the hospital and she wasnt charged a DIME. What if you are poor and cant afford going to a hospital to give birth? People like you make me sick. I work in hospitals, in PUBLIC, FREE, hospitals, and you cant imagine how good it does to society that healthcare is free. Unfortunately, im in a 3rd world country, and our resources are not enough. But im afraid of the day that our government could shut down public healthcare. Many many many people would have their lifes shattered.
That's fine if you have alot of money. Not everyone does. I'd rather the government make choices than have no choices at all due to lack of money.
Kimberly Yang you're a moron!
Idk if it's bc i'm swedish but i'm just pver here cringing at the accents like.. i'm 15 and my english is better than that😂
miriam stenlund jag själv e oxå 15, o enligt mig så tycker jag att det ej är så konstigt att dem har en sådan dialekt för att varje gång då när jag hör svenskar prata på engelska så låter dem nästan exakt likadant, så jag fattar ej riktigt varför det e så konstigt för dig
:):)Viktorija Mačiulis:):) ingen aning faktiskt.. det låter bara så konstigt😂 kanske bara är jag som är konstig dock..
Their English was good, and it’s not like they’re in an English speaking country
miriam stenlund Their English was good! What's wrong with you..
Anja Fourie these ppl learn english since 1st grade and has it as ome of the main subjects all the way through all the schoolyears. However, my comment came out ruder than i intended to and for that i apologize. I simply mean just whenever i hear someone from sweden speak english the accent (that every swede has) is just really annoying me, but that could be because i'm from sweden too, idk. Sorry
