Child Birth

Best Maternity Service in Punjab

The birth of babies can happen in two forms: Vaginal delivery and Caesarean section. Though both methods aim to ensure the good health of the mother and the child, there are certain conditions in which one must opt for a cesarean section. The normal delivery centre in Moga aims at increasing the chances of a normal delivery if it is possible.

Reasons for a LSCS (Lower Segment Caesarean Section)

Medical reasons: If the mother is expecting twins or multiple children, or if she is suffering from diabetes or high blood pressure, then it is wiser to opt for a c-section. Women with HIV or genital herpes or problems with their placenta should also choose c-section delivery. LSCS delivery centre in Moga performs c-section delivery if the case requires it.
Situations: For a large-sized baby in a mother who has a small pelvis or the baby is not in the proper heads down position and the efforts to put the baby in the proper position fail, then a c-section recommends.
Emergencies: Like a hazard to the health and life of the mother, baby, or both calls for an emergency operation. Problems during pregnancy, slow labour, and lack of oxygen to the baby during labour call for an emergency c-section delivery.
Elective reasons: It is the case when the mother chooses to opt for a c-section as she wants to give birth at a specific time or chooses it due to complications in previous vaginal delivery. C-sections are safe and life-saving in some cases, but they have certain risks. It is a major operation in which the abdomen of the woman opens and the baby removes from her uterus. The doctors prefer vaginal birth as it is the most natural form of giving birth. It recommends as a C-section might increase the chances of future c-sections.
