Normal Delivery
Normal delivery is a completely natural delivery of a baby by the mother without any medical intervention.
What is Normal Delivery
Normal vaginal birth is the childbirth process which takes place without any form of medical intervention. Nowadays to alleviate the pain and speed up the delivery process medications might be used (you can choose not to opt for any medical intervention). All in all, a normal delivery is, in other words, a completely natural delivery of a baby by the mother without any medical intervention. During normal/vaginal delivery the primary focus is on how and in which position will the mother be comfortable delivering the baby. The mother can lead the whole process of labor and delivery. The doctor and attending nurses, aid her while being alert for any kind of emergencies.
Benefits of Normal Delivery
- Avoids risks associated with instruments used for a c-section delivery.
- Lower risk of infection for mother and child.
- Quicker recovery for mother and shorter hospital stay (24-48 hours as compared to 3 days to a week post caesarean).
- The natural bacteria and microbes of the vagina transferred from mother to child boost the baby’s immune system, readying it for life outside the protected womb.
- Babies are at lower risk for respiratory problems since the labour contractions help prepare the baby’s lungs for breathing
- Normal delivery stimulates lactation because the birthing process activates numerous natural mothering hormones.
