Normal child delivery
Normal Delivery is the birth of a young one through the natural process of labour in which there is a vaginal birth of the infant. It is non-intrusive and as nature had planned.
Signs and Symptoms of Normal Childbirth :
A young healthy woman can comfortably go through normal childbirth. Active lifestyle, normal blood pressure and position of the foetus are all indicative of a normal delivery.
Between 30 to 34 weeks, the foetus changes position to a cephalic or head down position ready for delivery. When viewed, it looks as if the baby’s position has moved down.
The urge to urinate will increase as the pressure from the baby’s head presses down the pelvic region and squeezes the bladder.
There will be an ache in the lower back as the foetus starts putting pressure on it (lower back). This because the foetus is positioning itself to get into the cephalic (Head down) position.
Soreness of the breasts is also indicative of normal childbirth. As you reach the final stage, it may feel heavy and uncomfortable
The breaking of the water bag usually takes place during labour. Sometimes it might happen even before the onset of labour. The doctor’s advice should be taken immediately.
