Förlossningsavdelningen på Mälarsjukhuset is a maternity department located within a hospital in Eskilstuna. The facility is designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for childbirth, emphasizing the "Birth without Fear" concept. This approach focuses on ensuring that patients are informed and involved in their care, with a strong emphasis on consent and participation throughout the birthing process.
The department caters to a diverse range of pregnancy situations, handling approximately 2,000 births annually, including both normal and complicated pregnancies. Starting in January 2024, water births will be offered as part of the services. The birthing environment is enhanced with ambient lighting and blackout options to promote tranquility, accommodating individual needs for a personalized birthing experience. Access to the department is available through the main hospital entrance or an alternative birthing entrance, with parking options provided in a nearby garage and short-term spots. Payment for parking can be made through the Apcoa Flow app.
