Normal Delivery and Cesarean Section

What is Normal Delivery and Cesarean Section?

Normal delivery, also known as vaginal delivery, is the natural process of childbirth where the baby is delivered through the birth canal without surgical intervention. It is generally preferred when there are no complications and both mother and baby are healthy.

Cesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure in which the baby is delivered through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It is recommended when normal delivery may pose risks to the mother or baby, such as in cases of fetal distress, multiple pregnancies, or medical complications.
