Being a woman, we know how extraordinary it feels to have a baby, especially to have a first baby. Nearly every expecting woman fancies having an easy pregnancy and a smooth ‘normal’ delivery. Normal delivery doesn’t have any surgical procedure involved. A young, healthy woman who takes care of her pregnancy period, can comfortably go through normal childbirth. Active lifestyle, normal blood pressure, and the position of the foetus are all indicative of a normal delivery. However, in recent times, many working women have started to prefer C-sections or caesareans over normal deliveries because of various reasons.
If 85% of pregnant women have a normal delivery, while the remaining 15% may require medical interventions such as a C-section. A conceiving mother may prefer a C-section to avoid pain and stress while on labour. But a having a normal delivery brings you closer to your child at every step and helps you recover faster.

A normal delivery allows a woman to connect to a childbirth experience closely and it helps you to appreciate every moment of motherhood.
