Normal Delivery

Normal delivery, also known as vaginal delivery, is the natural process of childbirth where the baby is born through the birth canal without the need for surgical intervention. It is the most common and preferred method of delivery when there are no complications. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a trusted obstetrician, specializes in providing compassionate care and support to ensure a safe and positive normal delivery experience.

Normal delivery offers several advantages for both the mother and the baby:

• Faster Recovery: Mothers typically recover more quickly compared to cesarean delivery.
• Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced risk of surgical complications and infections.
• Bonding and Breastfeeding: Immediate skin-to-skin contact promotes bonding and breastfeeding.
• Natural Hormonal Response: The body releases hormones that help with labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.

Normal delivery occurs in three stages, each carefully monitored by Dr. Kanchi Khurana:

1. Labor

• Early Labor: The cervix begins to dilate, and contractions become regular.
• Active Labor: Contractions intensify, and the cervix dilates to about 7 cm.
• Transition: The cervix fully dilates to 10 cm, and the baby moves into the birth canal.

2. Delivery

• The mother pushes during contractions to help the baby move through the birth canal.
• The baby’s head emerges first, followed by the shoulders and body.

3. Placenta Delivery
After the baby is born, the placenta is delivered, and the uterus contracts to prevent bleeding.

Dr. Kanchi Khurana recommends the following steps to prepare for a smooth and positive normal delivery experience:

• Prenatal Care: Attend all prenatal check-ups to monitor your health and the baby’s development.
• Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and engage in moderate exercise like walking or prenatal yoga.
• Childbirth Education: Attend childbirth classes to learn about labor, delivery, and pain management techniques.
• Birth Plan: Discuss your preferences for labor and delivery with Dr. Kanchi Khurana to create a personalized birth plan.

Dr. Kanchi Khurana offers various pain relief options to ensure your comfort during labor:

• Breathing Techniques: Controlled breathing to manage contractions.
• Movement and Positioning: Changing positions to ease discomfort and help the baby descend.
• Epidural: A safe and effective form of pain relief that numbs the lower body while allowing you to stay awake and alert.
• Natural Methods: Warm baths, massage, and relaxation techniques.
