As pregnant as COVID'S, gynecology registered less birth during 2020

Mars brought the SARS-COV-2 virus to our country, adding uncertainty about the future. More stress and fear were involved among pregnant people who expected to become mothers in 2020. According to data, during the past year, only at the Gynecological Clinic in KKUK had fewer births than in 2019.

Elmedina Hoti news of her becoming a mother in early April when the country was already in total isolation due to the introduction of the first cases with the coronary. However, joy soon gave way to fear because of the unknowns that COVID-19 brought.

The 21-year-old says 2020 has been difficult for her by making it difficult for her months of pregnancy, but managed to close it in the best way by bringing a healthy girl to life.

The Pandemia has been difficult for everything, but the birth is well done. (Pandemia) influenced the problem because the pandemic touched many people. Normal fears that the circumstances have been. I had a normal birth. We both saved. Fear has always been that the 2020 pregnancy and the virus have been widespread many”, Hoti said.

Because of complications, Arta Ramadani of Gjilan had decided that her birth would be performed at the Gynecology Clinic in Pristina. In the months of waiting, many questions were in her head. The biggest fear was in case she got infected and what happened to the baby.

Despite pandemics, medical examinations during the months of pregnancy are necessary, but Ramadani claims that he has always respected measures that were seen as protective of the Coronavirus.

And by nature it was a birth of complications I knew from the beginning, but everything went well. The moment I realized that I was pregnant the first dilemma was how I'd get through this pandemic period and I thought that if I got infected what happens to the baby. Every mother cares more about her children than about herself. When you're pregnant, there's a few things you can't do as you do in your daily life and you can't use antibiotics and antibiotics and what you need. I have to follow a stricter diet and I've thought that if I get infected with what's going to cause the baby and how I'm going to make it, maybe I have to leave the baby, I don't know if I can take care of”, Ramadan added.

The same in other clinics, the QKUH gynecology took the first measures to show cases with COVID-19. In order not to blow up pandemics in all departments, Gynecology Clinic Director Jakup Ismajli said they built a department where infected pregnancies have been treated.

Between March and December 91 pregnant women who were affected by the virus received medical services at the clinic.

Ishmael said that after birth, babies were tested for COVID-19, where everyone had a negative result.

With the spread of pandemic in our clinic, knowing that this disease wouldn't save us either, and that we didn't open a department that served to complete births, whether normal birth or cesarean. We had 91 hospital patients in that department, 43 patients born, while the rest of that figure were pregnant and released. All the births that were performed in this department at our clinic have been transferred to the Neonatology Clinic where the test was done and all have resulted negative, no mother-in-law disease was carried from mother to children”, he stressed.

The Coronervirus also touched 18 clanicists and 64 nurses from the Gynecological Clinic.

The nurse of the lemons Department, Victory Gashi with the Coronavirus, was infected in what is now widely known as the second wave of pandemic. She says the virus was affected after contact with an infected patient.

“We are at risk all the time because we cannot keep distance at the moment when the patient requires direct contact with him, dating to the bathroom, breast support, patients' demands, and we are unable. We've been working on masks since I know from a patient here I've been infected with medical treatment. (Now I am) relatively good, I'm under the thamologist's care yet, but we are going back (to work)”, she said.

The year 2020 has marked birth decline in the Gynecology Clinic near the University Clinical Centre in Kosovo. Between January and mid-December at this clinic, over 8 thousand and 400 children have been born. But this figure is lower compared to the number of births in 2019.

Gynecology Clinic Director Jakup Ismajli argues that children born near the clinic are also born in private hospitals because of the pandemic.

The total birth number until half of December is 8465 births, even though it has been a difficult and challenging year, a year of pandemics and a year that has challenged the entire globe, yet it is the physical processes that do not stop and we have faced this challenge. [... This number is a little bit smaller than the past years, but given that during the time of the pandemic, a number of patients who have been in better conditions that they have been thinking about because of the toll has ended their birth in private institutions. But it's a decline compared to last year. ... In 2019 we had 9 thousand and 461 birth”, Jakupi said.
