How to Have a Normal Delivery | 3 Easy Steps
Most women can significantly boost their chances of having a vaginal delivery by following these steps.
1. Find a doctor who supports you for a normal delivery
Search for gynecologists and hospitals that publically display their normal delivery rate. This should give an idea about how actively they promote vaginal deliveries and whether they really do what they say.
2. Inquire about labour support available
A robust support system comprising of a gynecologist, labour room nurse and your birthing partner (husband/mother) can help you manage labour pain and have a normal delivery. Speak to your doctor about the help you can expect to receive in labour.
3. Ask about pain relief options
You should feel prepared to face labour if you are constantly guided by your gynecologist. In cases where the pain is unmanageable, the hospital should be able to provide pain relief options. Make sure you discuss this as soon as possible to understand whether facilities such as Entonox gas or a waterbirth are available so you can have an unmedicated birth as far as possible.
When you've covered all these steps, the next thing to do for a normal delivery is to watch over your diet and exercise. Remember, gaining excess weight may create problems during delivery, so it is important you stay away from fried and spicy food, and include 30-45 minutes of exercise in your daily routine.
