Normal deliveries, C-Sections
At Our Clinic, providing safe and compassionate care for expectant mothers is a top priority. Dr. Nidhi Patnaik, with her extensive experience in obstetrics, offers expert guidance and medical care throughout the pregnancy and delivery process, ensuring both the mother and baby’s well-being at every stage.
Normal Vaginal Delivery (NVD)
Normal vaginal delivery is the preferred method of childbirth, as it offers several benefits, including a shorter recovery time and fewer complications compared to a caesarean section. Dr. Patnaik takes a personalized approach to each pregnancy, offering continuous monitoring and support throughout labor. She ensures that women who are eligible for normal delivery receive the best care, addressing any potential risks and complications early on.
During the delivery process, Dr. Patnaik uses her expertise to guide the mother through each stage of labor, ensuring comfort and minimizing discomfort through various pain management techniques, including natural methods and epidurals if necessary. The goal is always to have a safe and smooth delivery, with minimal intervention unless required.
Caesarean Section (C-Section)
While normal delivery is preferred, some pregnancies may require a caesarean section for the health and safety of both the mother and the baby. Dr. Patnaik ensures that any decision for a C-section is made with careful consideration, often due to factors such as:
- Fetal distress: When the baby shows signs of distress during labor, a C-section may be necessary to ensure a safe delivery.
- Breach presentation: When the baby is positioned feet or bottom first, a C-section may be recommended.
- Multiple pregnancies: In cases of twins or higher-order multiples, a C-section is often safer for the babies.
- Placenta previa: A condition where the placenta covers the cervix, which can cause complications during delivery.
- Previous C-sections: Women who have had a previous C-section may be advised to deliver via C-section again.
Dr. Patnaik and her team ensure that the C-section procedure is performed under sterile conditions with careful monitoring. The procedure involves a small incision in the abdominal wall, through which the baby is delivered, and the mother can rest assured that her care team will provide the best possible post-operative care to aid in a smooth recovery.
Post-Delivery Care
Whether you experience a normal delivery or caesarean section, Dr. Patnaik’s care extends beyond the delivery room. Postpartum care is a vital aspect of recovery, and her clinic ensures that mothers receive the necessary medical support to promote healing, as well as emotional support during this exciting yet challenging phase.
Dr. Patnaik offers guidance on breastfeeding, physical recovery, and emotional well-being, making sure mothers are prepared for the new chapter in their lives. With a focus on the health and safety of both mother and child, Patnaik Maternity and Infertility Clinic provides comprehensive care from prenatal to postnatal stages.
