Normal Labour
Normal labor, also known as spontaneous or natural labor, refers to the process by which a woman’s body prepares for and gives birth to a baby without the need for medical intervention. It typically begins with the onset of regular contractions and ends with the delivery of the baby and placenta. Normal labor progresses through several stages, each characterized by specific changes in the cervix and the mother’s body, leading to the eventual birth of the baby.
At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital Urology & IVF Centre, our team of experienced obstetricians and gynecologists, led by Dr. Ramachandra. K and Dr. Atchutha Subiksha, is dedicated to supporting women through the labor and delivery process, whether it be normal or with medical intervention when necessary. We understand the importance of providing compassionate care and support to women during this transformative experience, empowering them to make informed decisions about their birth preferences and ensuring the safety and well-being of both mother and baby.
During normal labor, contractions become more frequent, intense, and regular, causing the cervix to dilate and efface, or thin out, to allow for the passage of the baby through the birth canal. As labor progresses, the mother may experience various physical and emotional sensations, including pressure in the pelvis, back pain, and feelings of excitement or anxiety. Our team is trained to monitor the progress of labor, provide pain management options, and offer guidance and encouragement to help women cope with the challenges of childbirth.
Once the cervix is fully dilated, the mother enters the second stage of labor, during which she actively pushes to deliver the baby. With the guidance and support of our skilled healthcare providers, women are encouraged to assume positions that are comfortable and conducive to the birthing process, such as upright or squatting positions. Throughout the delivery, our team closely monitors the mother and baby’s well-being, intervening if necessary to ensure a safe and positive birth experience.
At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital, we believe in the power of normal labor and the inherent strength of women’s bodies to give birth naturally. We are committed to providing comprehensive care and support to women throughout the labor and delivery process, helping them achieve a positive and empowering birth experience.
