Normal delivery is the natural method of childbirth where the baby is born through the vagina. During natural vaginal birth, the mother experiences the process of labor, which involves regular contractions of the uterus that help to push the baby through the birth canal.

Listed below are a few typical scenarios in which vaginal delivery is advised:

• Low-risk pregnancy

• Adequate pelvic size

• Head-down position

• Progressing labor

• Previous successful normal birth

• Absence of fetal distress or abnormalities detected during labor

A vaginal delivery typically consists of three main stages:

Stage 1: Labor
During this phase, contractions begin, the cervix starts to dilate and efface, and the baby begins to descend into the birth canal. Contractions may be irregular and mild at first but gradually become more frequent and intense.

Stage 2: Delivery
During this phase, the baby moves through the birth canal and is born. The mother actively pushes during contractions to help facilitate the baby's delivery. Once the baby's head crowns, it typically takes a few more pushes for the baby's body to be delivered.

Stage 3: Placental Delivery
After the baby is born, the final step is the delivery of the placenta. It is normal for the mother to encounter some bleeding.

Here are some things you can do in consult with your doctor to prepare yourself for a normal vaginal delivery:

• Eat a well-balanced Diet

• Stay active and exercise regularly

• Take a childbirth class

• Stay Positive and relaxed 

• Meditate

• Take a walk

• Listen to music

• Attend birthing classes

Here are some factors that make a woman the right candidate for normal delivery such as:

• No medical history of major problems.

• A baby that is in the head-down position.

• A large enough pelvis to accommodate the head of the baby.

• A low-transverse uterine incision from a previous C-section.

• A woman who is motivated and prepared for normal delivery.

Natural birth offers several advantages for both the mother and the baby. Some of the key advantages include:

• Faster recovery

• Lower risk of complications such as infection, blood loss, and wound healing issues

• Reduced respiratory issues in the baby

• Potential for future vaginal births

• Easy lactation

• Short hospital stays

After a normal vaginal delivery, here are some common things you may expect during the postpartum recovery period:

• Vaginal discharge and bleeding

• Vaginal soreness

• Fatigue

• Pain while urinating

• Having bowel movements

• Cramping in the uterus

• Depression. 

You should be able to recover within seven to 10 days. However, full recovery, particularly in the case of a perineum tear during childbirth, might require approximately six weeks or slightly longer, depending on your overall health condition.

The cost of a normal vaginal delivery can vary depending on various factors such as the location, hospital, facilities, type of room chosen, additional services or procedures, medications, anesthesia, diagnostic tests, post-delivery care for mother and baby, and the duration of the hospital stay.

Normal delivery is generally considered a safe way to give birth, but there are still some risks that may arise such as:

• Perineal Tears

• Urinary Incontinence 

• Postpartum Hemorrhage Pelvic organ prolapse

• Uterine rupture

Here are some tips you may consider to take care after a normal delivery:

• Take rest to recover fast

• Keep the perineal area clean to prevent any kind of infection

• You will experience vaginal bleeding for several weeks after normal delivery. So, use sanitary pads and monitor the color and flow of bleeding.

• Take a healthy diet.

• While breastfeeding ensure proper positioning to prevent nipple soreness 

• Perform pelvic exercises to strengthen the muscles that support pelvic organs
