Motherhood is inarguably the most beautiful phase in a woman’s life. But, many expectant women fear the process of natural childbirth due to painful labour, opting for a Caesarean surgery instead which is not really needed unless there is a risk to the mother or the baby. Normal Delivery: We are encouraging expecting mothers to opt for natural childbirth which can be almost painless in today’s practice. PAINLESS WAY OUT. Epidural anesthesia allows mothers to have a painless delivery the natural way. It is the most popular method of pain relief during labor. Studies show that epidurals prevent damage that would otherwise occur to the pelvic muscles during a normal delivery. C-Section: Vedansha Hospital offers a gentle C-Section ( or family centered C-Section). It means making a few small changes in the procedure to allow you and your partner to feel more part of the birth. Choosing the right hospital to bring their precious baby into the world becomes even more significant for the new parents-to-be.

Sonography, also known as Medical ultrasound, is an imaging technique based on the application of ultrasound. Its aim is to keep a proper check on a pregnant woman’s child growth throughout the gestation period. Ultrasound can be useful in high-risk pregnancy. They can also screen for Fallopian tube patency by a test known as SIS (Sono Infusion Salpingography). New higher resolution ultrasound systems allow physicians to safely monitor and examine the reproductive system in the early stages of embryo development. A complete foetal examination using ultrasound involves imaging the baby’s head, heart, kidneys, spine, stomach, umbilical cord, bladder and placenta to determine if any abnormalities exist. The same foetal exam can also be used to check for the possibility of multiple births, unusual orientation, and if the baby is positioned correctly. By taking measurements of the foetus, a doctor can also determine the gestational age of the baby to help date the pregnancy.

In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) refers to a technique of assisted reproduction where the egg and sperm are fertilised outside of the body to form an embryo. This embryo is then transferred to the uterus to hopefully implant and become a pregnancy. All IVF treatments begin with a course of hormone therapy to stimulate the development of several follicles in the ovary. These are collected as eggs, which are then fertilized in a test-tube (‘in-vitro’) to create several embryos. After two to five days in an incubator, one or two of these embryos are transferred to the uterus, where implantation occurs and pregnancy begins. However, in IVF as in natural conception, not every embryo implants to become a pregnancy, which is why surplus embryos are frozen – so that a subsequent transfer might be tried if the first one fails.
