Childbirth & Delivery Methods Overview
This is an important milestone in any woman’s life, giving birth to a baby. Now with advancement in science and technology, modern medical practices have a number of options which have made childbirth a much safer experience over the past century for both the mother and the baby.
In fact, realizing the need for providing a safe birthing experience, a number of hospitals have sprung up in India which are exclusively for childbirth. Many other hospitals have comfortable maternity suites which provide a home-like environment.
It would be ideal to have a well-planned and perfectly executed delivery. However, it is well known that the most perfectly planned delivery can sometimes face unexpected emergencies. For such cases, it is necessary to be prepared for other forms of childbirth or delivery. The different forms of childbirth or delivery methods are:
