Snezhana Egorova and Anton Mukharskiy

January 19, 2010 Snezhana Egorova for the fourth time became a mother. We are grateful to her for her frank, deep and very sincere interview.

You look at Snezhana and marvel at yourself: is she really the mother of four children ?! Young, beautiful, fresh, in great shape! Asked from what sources she derives energy, the actress and TV presenter answers without hesitation: "In your children!"

Snezhana Yegorova and Anton Mukharsky are very careful to protect their personal lives, so we did not insist on taking photos with their little daughter Arina. At the time of the interview, the baby was gone for a month. Snezhana, confess, feel some changes in yourself after the birth of Arina? There were no cardinal changes. When the first child appears, it seems that the world is turning upside down. And if this is the fourth, many things are already clear. The only thing that is amazing is the realization of how quickly the sensations of the very first months of life of a crumb are forgotten. And again you are shocked: are children really so small? How fast they grow! I remember when my first daughter was born, I always wanted her to open her eyes, she sat down, said "aga", started talking, ran to school. I constantly hurried her growth. And now, on the contrary, I do not hurry and enjoy the wonderful moments. I even like the baby crying! It does not irritate me.


How do you feel in the role of mother of four children? It seems to me, it is wonderful! But those around him for some reason are amazed at this news. Unfortunately, nowadays people are sure that for one reason or another they can not afford to have children. And a large family is something out of the ordinary. You know, I adore little children, especially babies. Honestly, I would give birth to more. But the conditions existing in our country do not have this. It's not only and not so much in the material side of the issue - I'm more concerned about the environment. The more I have children, the more socially active I become. I am interested in what kind of world they will grow, what people will become their contemporaries. Please tell us about the birth. I gave birth in the hospital № 1 to a doctor, whom we have known for twelve years. Arina is my third child, whom he accepted. My first daughter Stasya, I gave birth, as they say, by ambulance. I was very young then, I lived in another city with my mother-in-law. And, like most ordinary citizens, I did not particularly think about the need to find a doctor in advance and agree that he would lead your pregnancy. Therefore, I have the opportunity to compare that first experience with an informed birth with the doctor from whom you were observed. The difference is colossal - both in the process itself, and with respect to, and, by and large, as a result.


Therefore, if a woman is serious about childbirth and wants to later enjoy the process of communication with the child (so that the baby brings joy, sleeps well, is healthy and does not bother), one should take the doctor's choice very seriously. There are not many good doctors, but they are. Therefore, I always speak with great pleasure and gratitude of my doctor, who for me is a guru, a god in his profession. This year I once again became convinced of this. The fact that the birth was fifteen minutes without ruptures and other troubles, and then I did not lie for eight days unbearable and did not experience postpartum depression, only his merit.

The birth of each child is unique. What is unusual about the case of Snezhana Yegorova and Anton Mukharsky? Snezhana discovered for herself one thing: our traditional medicine and the general attitude to motherhood are at the level of the Middle Ages. For example, in socially developed Western countries with a high standard of living and medicine, the ideal age for the birth of the first child is 34 years. And we have? On pregnant women after 27 years old label "old-timer" is hung. Allegedly, such mothers need special treatment for themselves. That is, doctors and the entire health care system set the woman up for everything, enough to give birth. So it was in my case. I always psychologically easily bear the bearing of a child, because motherhood is my natural state. I am very grateful to my children: none of them gave me surprises that would have burdened my life. Therefore, I was quite calm about the fact of my pregnancy, until I began to talk about the need for additional tests: they say, you have age. Around my age there was such a stir that I myself became agitated. And, frankly, the Aesculapius slowly but surely instilled panic in me.

At first a small one , but the closer the date of delivery became, the more I realized that I was psychologically absolutely unprepared for childbirth! There was a fear: and suddenly in connection with my age something extraordinary will happen (although I felt normal, was under observation and the doctor did not bother). Already in the hospital I shared my fears with my doctor: "You know, Dmitry Nikolayevich, I'm so scared! For the first time in my life. This is the fourth birth, but I've never been so afraid. " And he answered: "Snezana, are you out of your mind? Who did you listen to there? Everything will be fine do not worry".

After the birth of Arina, many media decided to inform the world of this news. And I paid attention to one nuance: printed publications did not fail to remind readers how old they are to me and my husband. Absolutely everyone without exception wrote: Snezhana Egorova (37), Anton Mukharsky (41). I'm outraged not because I hide my age. Simply this fact clearly proves: our society is not ready for people to become parents after a certain age threshold. We still believe that this is suitable only for a young age. A pier, it is necessary to give birth, while still there is health, in order to have time to educate. And that a middle-aged man would like to have children ?! It's such a burden! In my opinion, the more mature we become, the more qualitative upbringing we can give to our child, as well as another, the highest level of love and attention. Mature parents are more conscious, and their child feels protected in this world. Therefore, I believe that in our country "age" attitudes toward parenting are about to change.

Were there difficulties during childbirth? Arina is the largest child of all my children. She weighed 4 kg 40 g with an increase of 53 cm. For comparison: my eldest daughter, whom I gave birth to 17 years ago, was born at a weight of 2 kg 900 g is a significant difference. To admit, there were a few moments when I thought that I just could not give birth, that it would not be possible to push out this huge head. I actually became scared. It seemed that the process lasts infinitely long and will never end. Many women do not dare to become mothers because of fear of pain, because scary stories have been heard in the presentation of "experienced" parents like me. But I'm still trying to talk about it with humor, because I'm positive about the childbirth. And some have a negative experience: one of the mothers gave birth heavily and then does not decide on the next addition to the family. From the height of my rich maternal experience I can assure that the birth pain is very quickly forgotten and compensated by the joy and pleasure of communicating with the child. In general, I'm an unfortunate example for talking about failures! I know that Anton was present at the birth of Arina ... Initially, I was against partner births, because before the husbands, not what was in the family - they did not let me into the maternity ward. Three years ago I gave birth to Andryusha.

While the fights continued , she waited for her turn in the prenatal ward. The doors to the kindergarten were open, and I saw the alien birth from the corner of my eye. The process seemed too physiological to me, not intended for men's eyes. So I decided for myself that I would never call my husband for childbirth.

The presence of Anton was completely random. I did not understand: whether I already give birth, or ate too much. At first my stomach ached, then I started to pull my back. In general, I decided to call the doctor just in case. And he says to me "Urgently pack up things and leave." On the way, Anton and I stopped at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra to drink some water, because it was the night of Baptism. And I asked him: "It seems to me, Antosha, that I will give birth in the morning. Maybe you'll stay with me? All the same, I can not sleep, but I will be alone. " And he agreed. But it did not take long to wait: after the arrival the fights began. In breaks we talked with the doctor, laughed.

As a result, Snezhane Egorova and Anton Mukharsky thought that childbirth is a very fun activity. But the child's code was already starting to go out, I asked my husband to leave: it seemed to me that he would certainly become ill, and instead of focusing on childbirth, I would think about how he felt or how I look. Why do I need it? I even told the doctors: "Take him outside!" And they say to me: "Why, you, Snezhana, there are twenty degrees of frost in the street. The owner of the dog will not drive out of the house, but you drive a husband! We'll send him to the next room and ask him not to spy. " But as soon as Arina was born, Anton was immediately called. When he cut the umbilical cord, he was the first to take his daughter in his arms. Based on your experience, what are the advantages in having a large family? First, when a person has many children, he does not forget his own childhood. Kids keep us in a state of waiting for a miracle. More holidays in the family: Christmas trees, toys in the house. In short, there is an atmosphere in which an adult remains in the depths of his soul as a child.

Children - it's so cool! I do not even know what we would do with my husband if we did not have a Pack, Sasha, Andryusha and Arina. It seems to me that in our life a huge gaping emptiness would form.

I remember my grandmother, who lived 85 years. She had seven daughters and sixteen grandchildren. I did not see a happier person! Probably, to me in this sense very lucky. I never worried because of the thought of what I would do with so many offspring. I grew up in a family where children were not a problem: their appearance was eagerly awaited.


At the same time, I know what it's like to be the only child of parents. Despite the fact that I have many cousins ​​and brothers with whom we are very close, I still always wanted my brother (or "my" sister) always to be there when I was a child. Now, when I grew up, I do not have enough of a native person who would be "mine" - regardless of whether I'm a good or bad, successful or a failure. A man who is blood-born, who, if something happens to me, comes and lends a helping hand. That's why I gave birth to my second daughter: I thought, let the girls always be with each other. I did not know then that I would not stop at that. I am happy that children accompany me all the conscious life. I want to believe that Arina will not be able to grow up, as we will have grandchildren - small charming little girls. Cool!
