Our wish is for new mothers to feel as relaxed as they can during this turbulent, but rewarding period of their lives. We give our best to make the first contact with your new child filled with only pleasant memories since we know how special these moments can be for each new parent.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>When are babies born?<\/b><\/p>\n
In most cases, babies are born from the start of the 38th week up until the end of the 41st week of the gestation period. This would be the 10th lunar month or the 9th calendar month of pregnancy. Babies born before the 38th week are considered prematurely born, while those born after the 41st week fall under post-term pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\nHow are babies delivered?<\/b><\/p>\n
Most babies are delivered naturally through the vagina, while some have to undergo the cesarean section (C-section) – a surgical procedure in which the doctor opens the belly of the mother to deliver the child. This method is only used when the baby cannot be born through the vagina, due to possible danger either to the mother or child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nYour first encounter with the newborn baby happens immediately after vaginal birth, while the C-section involves anesthesia, and the mother sees her child when she wakes up. A special kind of anesthesia can be administered if the mother wishes to stay awake during the C-section.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Services<\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
