Cesarean procedure by patient request
The American Hospital of Paris maternity strives to provide a compassionate response to patients’ needs, and takes the necessary measures to respect your wishes with regard to the birth.
We have created a multidisciplinary and coordinated cesarean section procedure available by request, and in the absence of any medical indication to perform a cesarean section for a single pregnancy.
As part of this procedure, patients are thoroughly informed about the operation and receive the necessary support and guidance throughout the pregnancy, during the birth and while in post-partum recovery.

Therapeutic abortion and bereavement in the Maternity Ward
Most parents who have lost a child say it is one of the most painful experiences of their life. That is why the entire Maternity team wants to support them during this moment of deep sorrow.
The purpose of this booklet is to summarize the information the parents received during their consultations, to help tem make decisions over the coming days. Having a written booklet will enable them to review the important information from their visits with our team. Each choice the couple make will be a step in the process and will sometimes require a signed consent.
