- Back pain in waves
- Reduced baby movements
- Heavy bleeding, severe constant pain or a persistent headache, needing immediate care
Understanding Your Childbirth Options
Deliveries differ. Some follow a planned vaginal birth, others require monitoring, intervention, or a caesarean.
- Normal vaginal delivery with continuous monitoring and pain relief options
- Caesarean delivery in Andheri East, Mumbai, planned or emergency
- VBAC, assessed individually
- High-risk pregnancy management, including gestational diabetes, hypertension and multiple pregnancy
Before Delivery: Preparing for Childbirth
Prenatal visits are scheduled in advance, with growth tracking, screenings, ultrasounds and blood tests done at set stages. The birth plan covering pain relief, delivery method and companions is settled in the last weeks. Antenatal classes cover breathing, labour and newborn care.
In the third trimester, admission steps, documents and the packing list are finalised, so that delivery day needs no last-minute organising.
During Delivery: What to Expect
After admission, the baby's heart rate, maternal vitals and labour progress are monitored continuously by the nursing and obstetric team. Epidural anaesthesia is available on request.
If complications develop, such as foetal distress or stalled labour, the team proceeds to a caesarean without delay, with anaesthesia and paediatric support on standby. The newborn is assessed right after birth.
After Delivery: Postnatal Care
Mothers remain under observation for a period that depends on the delivery type and any complications. The team supports early breastfeeding and monitors the newborn's vitals and feeding.
Counselling covers wound care, nutrition, contraception and signs needing urgent follow-up. A discharge plan sets out postpartum check-ups and the baby's early vaccination schedule.
High-Risk Pregnancy Management
These conditions call for closer monitoring through labour:
- Pre-eclampsia (raised blood pressure with protein in the urine)
- Gestational diabetes
- Placenta previa or accreta
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Twins or more
- Breech or abnormal foetal position
- Preterm labour, before 37 weeks
- Gestational hypertension
- Age above 35, or pre-existing heart, kidney or thyroid conditions
Visit frequency and testing are adjusted to each condition, and plans are revised if the clinical picture changes.
