What is a vaginal delivery?
Vaginal delivery is the natural process of giving birth, where the baby moves from the uterus, through the cervix, and out of the vagina. For many women, this is the preferred method of childbirth.
While the process is natural, it requires careful monitoring and can be physically intense. Before labor, Dr. Ahdoot discusses your delivery plan, including options for pain management, to ensure you feel prepared and supported.
Most vaginal deliveries proceed smoothly, but if complications arise, Dr. Ahdoot can safely transition to a cesarean section to protect both mother and baby.
What is a cesarean section
(C-section)?
A C-section is a surgical procedure in which Dr. Ahdoot delivers your baby through an incision in the abdomen and uterus, bypassing the birth canal.
Some C-sections are planned due to factors like:
- Previous C-section
- Carrying multiples
- Pre-existing health conditions or infections
- Obstructed birth canal
Other C-sections are performed as emergencies if the health of the mother or baby is at risk, such as:
- Baby in an abnormal position
- Baby not receiving enough oxygen
- Sudden complications like pre-eclampsia
Which delivery method is best?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The safest method depends on your individual health, your baby’s condition, and circumstances that can change during labor.
It’s important to understand that:
- C-sections are major surgeries with risks, including infection and longer recovery times
- A previous C-section may affect your ability to deliver vaginally in the future, though VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) is often possible
- Labor plans can change, so having an experienced obstetrician like Dr. Ahdoot ensures you and your baby remain safe
Dr. Ahdoot works closely with you throughout prenatal care to discuss your delivery options and prepare for every scenario.
