The delivery / birth options available are:
Unassisted normal vaginal delivery The baby will be delivered through the birth canal naturally without any assistance. This happens in the majority of cases.
Forceps / vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery Vaginal delivery is achieved with the assistance of an obstetric forceps or vacuum device. This happens in 10 to 20 per cent of cases.
Emergency Caesarean Section (EmCS) A caesarean section is performed if the risks to the mother and / or baby with continuation of the labour process are higher than a caesarean section. This may happen in 10 to 20 per cent of cases.
Please discuss your options carefully with your gynae during your antenatal visits.
