This is exactly what the article will discuss. You will learn how to fill out a pregnancy certificate. We will also look at a sample. In addition, you can find out some of the design features of this document.
When might a document be needed?
A medical certificate of pregnancy is often required at the place of work. If a woman’s field involves heavy physical labor or there are conditions at work in which it is dangerous for the expectant mother to stay, then the employer may require such a form. In this case, the fairer sex will count on a change in conditions.
If you want to submit an application to the registry office and you have a certificate of pregnancy, then representatives of the law can speed up the marriage process. On average, future newlyweds have to wait from two to four months. However, if you provide the form, you can expect to register within one month. Moreover, the longer the pregnancy, the faster everything will happen.
In some cases, airline representatives may ask you for this document. Many companies do not undertake to transport expectant mothers after. In this case, you will need a certificate indicating the deadline.
There are many other authorities that require a certain sample of a pregnancy certificate. In this case, you need to inform your gynecologist that you need a certain form of document.
To whom and how is the document issued?
A certificate of pregnancy (each with a stamp is provided exclusively to expectant mothers. A woman who wishes to receive a form must undergo a thorough examination. If the expectant mother is registered, then issuing a certificate will take only a few minutes. When she is still very small, the doctor performs a manual examination, after which he prescribes control ultrasound diagnostics.This process can take varying amounts of time: from several hours to one week.
Remember that the pregnancy certificate has a certain validity period. Usually the document is not issued for more than a month. That is why you should not try to get this form right away. Only use it when you really need it.
Remember that only the expectant mother can receive a legal document. None of the woman’s representatives can count on such a form, since in order to issue it it is necessary to undergo a preliminary examination.
Form and sample of pregnancy certificate
If you need this document, you can apply for it at any medical institution. Even private companies issue this form. However, a state pregnancy certificate (you will see a sample with a stamp below) is more trustworthy for several reasons. This form contains the stamp of the institution and the signature of the chief physician. The sheet also indicates the full name and certificate number of the hospital. If you do not know what form the document is to be filled in, you can look at a sample pregnancy certificate from your gynecologist. In most cases the standard form is used.
How to fill out a pregnancy certificate correctly?
When filling out this document, you must take into account the sample medical certificates about pregnancy. Experienced gynecologists and obstetricians already know what to write in this or that column. Doctors are also provided with a completed form that they can refer to. To enter your personal data, the doctor will need some documents.
Medical institution data
A certificate of pregnancy (a sample with a stamp is available in our article) provides for the name of the institution that issues the form. At the very top of the sheet, the gynecologist writes the name of the clinic. Next, enter your address and telephone number. Some certificates are provided for completion with a header already completed. In this case, the doctor skips this point.
Patient's personal information
After specifying information about the medical institution, the doctor enters information about the patient. In the topmost column, enter the last name, first name and patronymic. After this you need to write your date of birth. The place of residence or registration must be indicated.
Many medical institutions, in addition to personal data about the patient, also enter a number with the policy series. Your passport may also be required. However, these are rarer cases.
The fact of pregnancy
After filling out the main fields of the document, the doctor issues his opinion. If a woman is registered as pregnant, it is not difficult for a doctor to make a diagnosis and give recommendations.
When a representative of the fairer sex is in the earliest stages, the doctor indicates all the laboratory tests that made it possible to establish the presence of a fetus in the womb. Such manipulations include: manual examination, diagnostic ultrasound, blood tests, and so on.
It is worth noting that the pregnancy certificate most often does not indicate the due date. However, sometimes this is exactly what the expectant mother needs. If you need to write down your expected due date, be sure to tell your doctor.
Indication of the place of provision
After filling out all the data, the doctor indicates the organization for which this certificate was written. Most often here you can find the following entry: “For provision at the place of requirement.” However, some doctors prefer to indicate exactly where this document should be given.
Doctor and clinic details
At the very bottom, the doctor must indicate his own data. Here you can get by with your last name and initials. However, you need to write a specialist position. A stamp that the doctor has for personal use is also affixed.
After this, the certificate must be certified by the chief specialist of the hospital. There must be a special column for this. The chief physician indicates his last name and signs. A confirmation stamp with a coat of arms is required. The stamp can be triangular or round in shape.
Alternative filling method
In some cases, the doctor may give you a free form of a certificate. In this case, the doctor does not take into account the samples of this document and enters all the information arbitrarily. Such certificates must include the patient’s last name, first name and patronymic, as well as year of birth. The conclusion and recommendations are immediately made below. Such a certificate must have the stamp of a doctor and a medical institution. It does not matter at all that it is written in free form.
Private clinics also do not adhere to a specific model of this document. Gynecologists and specialists issue a certificate with a similar seal of the doctor and medical institution, as well as all the necessary signatures. However, in this case, you will have to pay a certain amount for the inspection and the provided document. Typically, the average price category for such a service is in the range from 500 to 2000 rubles.
Summing up and a short conclusion
So, now you know what a pregnancy certificate is and why this document may be needed. Remember that some underground companies offer to purchase such a form for a certain amount of money. However, this number does not work in most cases. Representatives of the law quickly declassify counterfeit forms and severely punish scammers and those people who used their services.
You can get a pregnancy certificate at any public medical institution or private clinic, provided that you are really preparing to become a mother soon. Fill out the documents correctly. I wish you success!
