The birth of a child is an important and joyful event for every family. Many, despite difficulties, enlist the support of loved ones and become parents of many children. Families with three or more children receive monthly payments until the child reaches 3 years of age. This was facilitated by the birth rate stimulation program that has been in place in the Russian Federation over the past years. The mid-2000s demonstrated the country's financial stability thanks to high prices for petroleum products. The state provided all kinds of benefits and material support in the form of maternity capital, as well as the opportunity to buy a plot of land and other incentives.

Help for families

The emerging and protracted crisis, the introduction of various sanctions and the decline in oil prices led to the government’s disappointing decision to reduce cash assistance to large families, suspend the increase in social benefits and increase the level of requirements for recipients of funds received.

The birth of a third child in a family changes its status. Now this is a large family. Food, clothing, education, and accommodation are expensive, but we must not forget about the cultural development and recreation of our children. Even with good earnings, there is a lot of hassle and expenses. Therefore, parents take an active interest in finding out what benefits they can receive upon the birth of their 4th child, what payments and privileges they are entitled to, what the state provides if the family becomes large.

Preeclampsia

With each subsequent pregnancy, the risk of late toxicosis increases significantly. Gestosis is a pathological condition in which dangerous symptoms occur, such as swelling, a significant increase in blood pressure, and a rapid deterioration in well-being. Such complications are observed in 20% of cases during the fourth pregnancy. In the most difficult cases, eclampsia develops. This condition is characterized by seizures. A pregnant woman may fall into a coma. There is already a serious threat to the life of the expectant mother and child.

Dropsy is one of the first manifestations of late toxicosis. Initially, the woman begins to suffer from swelling of the arms and legs, then excess fluid appears in the lower abdomen. At a late stage of the pathological process, swelling appears on the face. Unpleasant symptoms develop against the background of decreased diuresis. In addition, a woman may have protein in her urine. Such a symptom will indicate inadequate kidney function.

A rapid increase in blood pressure is also considered dangerous. An increase in diastolic value may indicate a decrease in placental circulation. The pathological process leads to oxygen starvation of the fetus. As a result, the baby may die or be born prematurely.

Women in their fourth pregnancy with gestosis must be hospitalized. Thanks to round-the-clock monitoring, it is possible to eliminate disturbances in the vital systems of the body. If the risk of eclampsia increases in the later stages, the doctor decides to induce labor.

Privileges

To receive special benefits, it is necessary to obtain official recognition of a large family. What to do when another long-awaited child appears in the family? It is necessary to follow the proposed instructions in order for the family to receive a new status as soon as possible and begin enjoying all the privileges.

One of the family members contacts the social protection authorities at the place of residence and provides the necessary documents:

• Copies and original passports of two parents.
• Certificates of marriage or divorce.
• Birth certificates for all children.
• Certificates from each child’s place of study.
• A document confirming the registration of all family members.
• Photo of spouses size 3x4.
• Certificate of a large family.

The employee accepts the documents. After this, the verification of the information provided begins, which takes approximately two to three weeks. Then the family receives a special notification letter listing all benefits and entitlements.

Despite the fact that the procedure seems very simple, not every family manages to overcome the paperwork and receive the coveted benefits. Bureaucratic delays in various authorities slow down the collection of certificates. Therefore, many do not fully or partially take advantage of the chance to receive benefits and payments of everything that the state gives for 4 children. The situation becomes more tense due to the lack of a single document that would guarantee that payments will be received automatically. You have to make separate visits to the housing inspectorate, the Pension Fund office, social security, tax or municipal authorities.

If you can no longer give birth

During a difficult fourth birth, a specialist may recommend that the woman have her fallopian tubes tied. Surgical intervention is performed if the fairer sex is no longer recommended to give birth. The intervention can be carried out in a gynecological clinic. At the same time, the likelihood of complications and side effects is minimized. The operation provides 98% protection against pregnancy. Despite this, the menstrual cycle is not disrupted, and the woman’s libido does not suffer.

A full pregnancy cannot occur after surgery. However, there is always a risk of ectopic development of the ovum. If menstruation does not come on time and the test shows two lines, you should seek help immediately.

In addition to the difficult fourth pregnancy, there are other indications for tubal ligation. These include: leukemia, severe diabetes mellitus, active form of hepatitis, renal failure, advanced form of hypertension.

The importance of having an ID

When receiving benefits, the main document is a certificate that confirms the status of a large family. It is processed by the Social Security Administration. The collection of documents in the future is determined by what kind of benefit you want to receive. This can be clarified on the spot. The application is considered within a month. Taking into account all the grounds for issuing the benefit, the verdict of state representatives on consent or refusal is announced.

The state supports a large family with a fourth child with various monetary payments:

Provides maternity capital for 4 children, pays child care benefits every month until the child reaches three years of age, and provides special benefits for the stable well-being of a family with four children. In addition, regional manuals are available.

Maternal capital

This type of government support from this list of payments is the most significant. In 2021, the amount of money is just over 450 thousand rubles. However, it is possible to use it if it was not previously paid to one of the other children. Additional conditions for receiving this benefit are Russian citizenship and residence in the same region for five years.

This program at the federal level has been extended until 2021 inclusive. Registration of this financial support from the state is possible until the child reaches the age of three, and use of the service until the 25th birthday of the adult child. If it is necessary to receive a large sum of money in order to pay off a mortgage or make a down payment on the purchase of their own home, or spend money on the adaptation of a child with disabilities into society, a large family raising four children can exercise their right immediately after receiving the certificate.

Right of use

Maternity capital can also be used to pay for a child’s education, including all children up to the age of 25. Training can be carried out both in public and private institutions in Russia.

It is also possible to increase the funded part of the pension of a mother with many children using capital funds. To do this, the following documents must be available: passport, SNILS and an application for disposal of money from the payment or part thereof.

From maternity capital, funds are received monthly to care for the baby until he reaches one and a half years old. To receive this type of benefit, you need to write two applications to the social protection authorities at once: to receive a certificate and to assign cash payments. The benefit is valid for one year, and then its validity will be extended by a new application. In this case, the application must initially be completed when the child reaches six months. The benefit applies to babies born from January 1, 2021 in a family where the average monthly income does not exceed 1.5 times the subsistence level established in the region of residence.

What are the dangers of giving birth at a late age?

It is worth understanding that a fourth pregnancy after the age of 35 carries a certain risk for the health of the mother and the unborn baby. Statistics show that children with Down syndrome are more often born to older mothers. Every year the risk of exacerbation of chronic pathologies, which can also affect the development of the fetus inside the womb, will increase significantly.

Those who decide to have a fourth pregnancy closer to the age of 40 need to be prepared for spontaneous abortion. The risk of miscarriage increases significantly due to chromosomal defects of the fetus. The woman’s body thus gets rid of the child, who is developing defectively.

During late pregnancy, problems with the placenta often appear. Chronic placental insufficiency often leads to premature birth. In this case, the baby is born with pathologies.

Additional Help

For all parents with many children, it will be good news to hear that in many Russian regions there is also a regional maternal capital program, which consists of receiving financial assistance at the birth of a child. It is smaller in size than the amount of funds allocated by the state, as it is additional assistance. Thus, large families have the opportunity to receive two types of this cash benefit. On average, the additional amount fluctuates around one hundred thousand rubles. Obtaining regional maternity capital is possible under the same conditions: Russian citizenship, living in one region for five years, not previously using capital for previous children.

A certificate for receiving maternity capital is issued by personally contacting the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or the MFC. The service will be provided after two months from the date of application. It is also possible to submit an electronic application on the State Services website. Within five days after the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation receives an application for financial assistance at the birth of a child, you must bring or send by mail all documentation to the authority specified in the application. This service is provided free of charge. You can pick up the certificate in person at the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or receive it by mail. The required documents to obtain are: passport, birth certificates of all children and a document on Russian citizenship.

How is the fourth pregnancy different?

Each subsequent pregnancy creates a serious burden on the female body. At the same time, unpleasant symptoms can develop in any vital system. A fourth pregnancy can lead to an exacerbation of chronic ailments. The peculiarities of this process consist in a more vivid manifestation of all unpleasant symptoms. A significant deterioration in well-being can be observed if a representative of the fairer sex decides to become a mother again closer to 40 years of age.

During the fourth pregnancy, the belly begins to increase much earlier. Already in the 10th week of pregnancy, others, as a rule, notice the interesting position of the expectant mother. Moreover, the belly size may be larger. At the same time, the baby’s weight does not always matter. This is due to the fact that the abdominal muscles are already stretched, which allows the uterus to freely increase in size.

An interesting fact is that a woman begins to guess about her situation much earlier. Many expectant mothers know even before the delay that changes have occurred in their body. Movements are also observed much earlier during the fourth pregnancy. The expectant mother will feel tremors closer to the 13th week of the gestation period.

Due to the fact that the risk of complications with each subsequent pregnancy increases significantly, the expectant mother is advised to follow a number of rules. It is strictly forbidden to lift heavy objects. In this regard, the fourth pregnancy should be planned when the older children are already a little older. Any physical activity can lead to premature labor.

Providing subsidies

At the regional level, authorities are seeking to introduce additional incentives for large families. Thus, in some Russian regions (this depends on the number of similar families in the region and its financial security) it is possible to obtain a subsidy for the construction of your own housing, obtaining property under a social tenancy agreement free of charge, obtaining a loan or a preferential loan for the purchase of building materials. It is also possible to immediately take out a mortgage without depositing funds.

What other payments are due at the birth of a fourth child and what additional payments are provided? In addition to the above, regional authorities are introducing additional payments for low-income families in the amount of one and a half to fourteen thousand rubles. Most payments are valid until children are 18 years old, but it is possible to extend them up to 23 years in some regions of the Federation if the child has entered education or under other conditions.

Pregnancy immediately after childbirth

Signs of a fourth pregnancy may be blurred if a woman has recently given birth to a third baby and is breastfeeding. Often, the expectant mother learns about her situation when the gestation period reaches 12 or more weeks. At the same time, it is too late to terminate the pregnancy.

A serious threat arises primarily to the life of the unborn baby. The female body has not yet had time to fully recover. As a result, all the necessary substances will reach the baby in limited quantities. In addition, the mother’s body is configured to feed the already born baby. In the fourth pregnancy immediately after the third, children may be born prematurely. If the child was born after the 30th week of pregnancy, he has every chance of a full life. He will be able to regain his strength thanks to artificial feeding.

A fourth pregnancy immediately after childbirth can cause a significant deterioration in the well-being of the expectant mother. The period of gestation in this case is quite difficult. A woman needs to make a decision whether to pay attention to the already born baby or completely entrust it to her relatives and continue her fourth pregnancy. It is possible that almost the entire nine months will have to be spent in a hospital setting.

Your own plot of land

In a family with many children, it is natural for parents to want to take measures to improve their living conditions. Most people want to exercise their right to own a plot of land with an area of ​​six to fifteen acres, where the conditions will allow them to build a good-quality, large house with the number of rooms necessary for a family, and plant a garden or vegetable garden. In 2021, this initiative from the state continues to operate in all regions of the country.

However, if the family wants to sell the received land and use these funds to purchase a large city apartment, this will be impossible, since the plot is the property of local authorities and is provided under a social tenancy agreement. If it is established that the person has intentionally moved to small, poor housing or the family income is above the minimum, a negative decision will be made in obtaining a land plot.

How to take advantage of what they give for 4 children? How to become a happy owner of a plot of land? To receive land, a large family must meet certain requirements: for at least five years, all family members must have Russian citizenship, live in the same dwelling, be on the list of those in need of housing, and also not have land or housing. An apartment with an area below the established norm for one resident is acceptable.

Application for benefits

In the Moscow region, the following rules have been established for receiving payments. First, you need to decide how you plan to apply. You can do this through the GosGosuslugi portal).

The time for consideration of the application is approximately one month. It happens that when families with four children first submit an application for assistance, they refuse to accept it due to a lack of documents. In this case, you can repeat the application on another day or contact higher authorities.

Features of the fourth multiple pregnancy

The risk of complications is significantly higher if two or more fetuses are developing in the womb at the same time. It is worth being under the close supervision of medical personnel if we are talking about a fourth pregnancy. Fetal movements, abdominal enlargement, deterioration in health - all these signs will appear much earlier. A double pregnancy puts a huge strain on the body. Starting from the middle of the second trimester, the woman will spend almost all of her time in confinement (in a hospital setting). This is the only way to avoid dangerous complications.

It is worth remembering that during multiple pregnancies, babies develop according to the principle of competition. Therefore, a woman must have enough strength to ensure that both babies receive the required amount of nutrients. With age, the likelihood of bearing healthy babies during multiple pregnancies decreases significantly. Already in the 6th week, the expectant mother is recommended to register.

Food deserves special attention. You will have to eat a little more than during a singleton pregnancy. It is worth remembering that the risk of obesity increases with age. It would be a good idea to contact a professional nutritionist who will develop a diet on an individual basis.

You should be prepared for the fact that labor during a multiple pregnancy can begin much earlier than the due date.

Every year the amount of a lump sum payment for the birth of a fourth child and the number of intended benefits from the local budget increase. This list also includes monthly reimbursement of expenses up to 1,200 rubles. If the number of children exceeds 4, then the amount increases to 1500 rubles. Reimbursement of money spent on children's products is intended only for families with more than five children. Utility bills increase every year, so reimbursement of expenses in the amount of 1044 rubles is provided. monthly, as well as telephone payment - 250 rubles.

The state is constantly developing new convenient and necessary programs to stimulate the birth rate in the country. This priority direction in the development of demographic policy has always caused many controversial comments. Maternity capital increased from 250,000 rubles. in 2007 to 453,000 in 2017-2018. Gradually, after indexation, this amount will increase to 505,000 rubles. Such important financial assistance for obtaining your own living space will significantly affect the increase in the birth rate.

What do they give for 4 children? A large number of benefits that help even low-income families stay within the limits of material income. It is important that every child is healthy, dressed, shod, goes to school, and has the right to the full development of his personality. Now programs to support large families help save on some vital items and services.

Now you can not only improve your living conditions, but also pay for your child’s education. Financial assistance and gubernatorial payments can be used for the social adaptation of children with disabilities and to pay for nanny services.

Regional maternity capital can be used to buy a car, renovate a home, or improve a personal plot. The new conditions will help families decide to have 3, 4 or more children.

Childbirth during the fourth pregnancy

Expulsion of the fetus in this situation also has its own characteristics. If the fairer sex follows all the doctor’s instructions, the fourth pregnancy will end with a successful birth. Signs that the baby has decided to be born may be vague. Abdominal prolapse during repeated pregnancies is not always observed, and the mucous plug begins to come off just a few hours before the onset of labor. A decrease in swelling may indicate the need to pack your bag for the maternity hospital. What other warning signs of childbirth could there be during the fourth pregnancy? Reviews show that a few hours before the baby is born, it becomes much easier to breathe. This is due to the advancement of the fetus towards the cervix. Space is freed up around the lungs.

Pregnancy with a fourth child often ends in rapid labor. It may only take half an hour from the onset of the first contractions until the baby is born. This poses a serious risk of complications for the life of mother and child. The expectant mother may experience a rupture of the soft tissues of the birth canal. The baby may be diagnosed with intracranial hemorrhage. To avoid unpleasant consequences, towards the end of the fourth pregnancy, it is recommended to go to the maternity hospital before the onset of contractions (closer to the 37th week).

With each repeat pregnancy, the risk of weak labor also increases. In this case, the woman will feel intense contractions against the background of a slight dilatation of the cervix. In this case, the doctor may decide to induce labor by drip administration of Oxytocin. If such actions do not show a good result, delivery will be carried out by cesarean section.
