Normal Delivery Hospital in Indore: Safe Delivery Care

Most healthy women can give birth vaginally, and a normal delivery usually means a faster recovery and an easier start to breastfeeding. At the same time, every labour is different, and sometimes a caesarean is the safest choice. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, our obstetric team supports you towards a normal delivery wherever it is safe, while keeping operation theatres, anaesthesia and the NICU ready for any situation.

Can I Have a Normal Delivery?

Your chances of a vaginal birth are good if:

• your pregnancy is single, healthy and full-term (37 weeks or more)
• the baby is head-down
• the placenta is not low-lying
• there is no medical reason, such as certain heart conditions, that makes labour unsafe

Even with a previous caesarean, many women can try for a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC).

Ways to Improve Your Chances of a Normal Delivery

• Attend regular prenatal check-ups so problems are found early
• Stay active with walking, prenatal yoga or exercise approved by your doctor
• Keep weight gain within the recommended range and control blood sugar
• Join childbirth preparation classes to learn breathing, positions and pushing
• Wait for labour to start naturally unless there is a medical reason to induce
• Consider epidural pain relief if you need it; it does not increase the overall chance of caesarean
• Have continuous support from a birth partner

Stages of Labour

First stage

Contractions gradually open (dilate) the cervix to 10 cm. Early labour can last many hours, especially in a first pregnancy; active labour is usually faster.

Second stage

From full dilatation to the birth of the baby. You will be guided when and how to push. Upright or side-lying positions may help.

Third stage

Delivery of the placenta, usually within 30 minutes, with an injection given to reduce bleeding.

Throughout labour, the baby's heartbeat and your progress are monitored as described on our labour monitoring page.

When Is a Caesarean Safer?

A C-section may be recommended before or during labour for reasons such as placenta praevia, breech position (in some cases), baby's distress, labour not progressing, some twin pregnancies or certain medical conditions. Your doctor will explain the reason and involve you in the decision whenever time allows.

Delivery Charges and Packages

Delivery charges depend on the type of delivery, room category, length of stay and any extra care needed for mother or baby. Our team provides a written estimate and helps with insurance approvals.

After a Normal Delivery

Most mothers can walk within a few hours and go home in about one to two days. Skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding begin as soon as possible. Our postnatal team checks your stitches, bleeding, blood pressure and mood, and our paediatricians examine your baby before discharge.
