Normal Delivery
When the baby is born through the vaginal canal in a natural way, it is termed as normal delivery. When the gynaecologist cuts the uterus to get the baby out, it is termed as cesarean delivery. A large segment of pregnant women and their families believe that doctors and hospitals perform cesarean deliveries unnecessarily. Since the packages for cesarean delivery are higher than those for normal delivery, they believe that hospitals earn more money by performing cesarean deliveries. This is completely untrue, as hospitals actually make more money from normal deliveries than cesarean deliveries.
Dr. Amita Shah has been propagating the cause of normal delivery over cesarean section throughout her entire career of more than 25 years. The advantages of normal delivery over cesarean section are numerous. The mother does not undergo any surgery in a normal delivery, and therefore, there are no future complications. The recovery time in a normal delivery is much shorter, and babies born through normal delivery tend to be healthier.

For ages, normal delivery has been performed without the assistance of any doctor. It was the midwife who would conduct the procedure, but the high incidence of maternal and child mortality has made a case for hospital deliveries. However, hospitals also have to cater to more serious diseases like cancer, heart disease, liver disease, etc. Therefore, the best place for having a normal delivery is a maternity home. A maternity home is a smaller nursing facility with the ability to perform both normal and cesarean deliveries if the need arises.
Indications for Normal Delivery
One of the most important factors determining the type of delivery is the position of the baby. If the head of the baby is downward towards the vagina, then the chances of normal delivery are high. If the baby is in the breech position (head of the baby is towards the mother’s head), then the chances of normal delivery are lower. However, your gynaecologist will guide you through certain exercises during the last month of pregnancy, which may help change the baby’s position.

Dr. Amita Shah has always maintained that normal delivery is beneficial for the mother’s health in the long term. Our gynaecologists prefer normal delivery any day over cesarean section delivery. When the pregnant woman goes into labor, she is shifted to the labor room where a trained nurse assists her throughout. Your gynaecologist will motivate and assist you in pushing the baby down. As soon as the baby’s head emerges, the gynaecologist will pull out the baby and cut the umbilical cord. The baby is then handed over to the paediatrician, who will take care of the newborn.
In normal delivery, the mother’s recovery time is much shorter compared to cesarean section delivery. There is no cut in the uterus, which keeps it strong for future pregnancies. There is no blood loss, and therefore the need for blood transfusion is avoided even if the mother has a low haemoglobin count. When no surgery is performed, the risk of infection that might be acquired during surgery is also avoided. The hospital stay is short, and the mother is usually on her feet the same day, able to go to the toilet on her own.
Best Doctor and Cost
The labor ward at Apollo Cradle Hospital is tastefully designed to keep expecting mothers in a happy and cheerful mood. We also offer the option of a Labor Delivery Room, where the delivery takes place in the room itself in the presence of your family members. All the equipment required for normal delivery is brought into your room and then removed once the baby is born. Dr. Amita Shah heads the Gynaecology Department, with more than 20 years of experience in this field. There are other gynaecologists who are also highly qualified and possess ample experience in performing normal deliveries. The packages for normal delivery at Apollo Cradle range from Rs. 75,000 to Rs. 1,25,000.

The charges for newborn resuscitation and vaccinations range from Rs. 10,000 to 20,000 if everything is fine with the baby. However, if the baby needs special care like phototherapy, there may be additional charges associated with these services. If the mother requires consultation and care from other specialists or a blood transfusion, the charges for these would be extra and not part of the package.
Typically, the hospital stay for normal delivery is 2 days. Any extra stay due to complications would be charged in addition to the package. During the extended stay, doctor fees, medicines, consumables, and tests are all charged extra. Be sure to review the package details before admission to avoid any confusion regarding billing at the time of discharge. We want the birth of your child to be a memorable occasion and go the extra mile to make it a reality.
