Supportive Care for Vaginal Birth
Normal vaginal delivery is the birth of a baby through the vagina without the need for a caesarean operation. The progress of labour can vary from woman to woman, and careful monitoring helps the maternity team assess the wellbeing of both mother and baby.
Antenatal care plays an important role in preparing for childbirth. During pregnancy, the mother's health, the baby's growth and other relevant factors are monitored so that the delivery plan can be discussed according to the individual pregnancy.
During labour, the healthcare team monitors the progress of labour and the condition of the mother and baby. If medical circumstances change, the delivery plan may also need to be modified to maintain safety.
