If you are an expecting parent, we totally understand what you are going through right now! Holding your baby for the first time is indeed bliss! But, at the same time, are you nervous? Are there a lot of questions regarding pregnancy care flooding your mind right now – about the baby, the delivery, the pain – everything? A lot of expecting mothers are not sure whether they would opt for normal delivery or C-section delivery. Well, hold on! It is absolutely normal to have cold feet before D-Date.
One thing that we would like to state is that the choice usually depends on the safety and the medical condition of the mother and the baby. While normal (vaginal) birth remains the preferred option, your doctor may ask you to opt for a C-section if,
- A couple wants to plan the exact time and date of the baby’s birth
- There are multiple risks to the pregnancy that can cause a threat to the life of wither the mother or the baby.
- The baby’s position is not favourable for vaginal delivery i.e. the foetus is not in a head-down position.
Vaginal Delivery: Pros and Cons
This is called a natural birth procedure as the mother gets into labour on her own and delivers the baby through the vaginal passage. This is preferred as it helps in giving the mother a greater sense of satisfaction and interaction with their newborn babies.
A major advantage of this method is that it allows better breastfeeding due to breast milk maturation. Moreover, it takes the least time for the mother to recover after the delivery and resume her day-to-day activities.
What could be worrisome is the fact that the mother indeed goes through a lot of pains when her labour begins. There are no major risks, however, at times you could have excessive bleeding, urinary incontinence and heightened fatigue. But, all of this can be easily cured with medical attention.

C-section Delivery: Pros and Cons
C-section deliveries greatly reduce the risk of any injury or trauma to the baby and is your go-to option in those cases where there is any complication involved. It also brings down the chances of urinary or faecal incontinence and ensures minimal loss of blood.
However, there could be complications due to anaesthesia, infections at the surgery site and at times, breathing issues for the baby.
So, the best way to go about it is to discuss your case with your gynaecologist and plan your delivery well in advance. Ovum Hospital is a reputed hospital in Bangalore with well-experienced gynaecologists. If you are worried about your delivery, you can reach out to us anytime!
