Baby Birth Delivery: What to Expect at Rosh MFM

Knowing what lies ahead can ease a great deal of anxiety around the delivery experience. A typical vaginal delivery moves through three distinct stages.

• The first stage begins with regular contractions and ends once the cervix reaches full dilation.
• The second stage covers the period from complete dilation through the birth of your baby.
• The third stage begins after birth and concludes with the delivery of the placenta.

Throughout every stage, our team monitors you and your baby closely and keeps you and your family informed every step of the way.

Types of Delivery Methods Vaginal Delivery

A vaginal birth is the most common delivery method and, in uncomplicated pregnancies, the preferred approach. Labor progresses naturally through contractions. Our team manages pain, monitors progress, and steps in whenever additional support is needed.

Assisted Vaginal Delivery

Assisted vaginal delivery (also known as operative vaginal delivery) accounts for roughly 3% of all births. Two methods may be used: forceps-assisted or vacuum-assisted delivery. Our physicians consider this option when labor stalls or when the baby’s heart rate raises concern. We explain the reasoning fully before proceeding with any assisted method.

Cesarean Section

A cesarean delivery may be planned in advance or may become necessary as circumstances change during labor. Common reasons include labor that does not progress, fetal distress, breech presentation, a large baby, multiple babies, placenta complications, a maternal health condition, infection, or a previous cesarean.

Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC)

A vaginal birth after cesarean is possible for many patients, and our physicians evaluate each case individually. The main consideration is the risk of uterine rupture at the prior incision site, which is rare but requires careful monitoring. Patients with a horizontal incision along the bikini line are often good candidates for a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC). We review your health history, walk you through the risks and benefits, and monitor you attentively if you choose to pursue TOLAC.

How Our Team Manages Labor and Delivery

Our physicians and clinical staff maintain constant, vigilant oversight throughout every stage of labor. The areas we monitor include:

• Baby’s heart rate
• Baby’s station and position
• Length of time spent in each stage of labor
• Medications used for pain control
• Need for augmented labor
• Potential need for assisted vaginal delivery
• Potential need for cesarean section

Our team explains what is happening, why certain decisions are being considered, and what your options are at every turn.

Preparing for Your Birth Experience

Preparation makes a meaningful difference in how you experience labor and delivery. At your prenatal visits, we discuss your birth preferences and address any concerns you may have. Before your due date, we review several important topics with you. These include your pain management preferences, what to expect during each stage of labor, and the signs that it is time to go to the hospital. We also explain what may happen if your birth plan needs to change. Bringing a support person can help make the delivery feel more comfortable. Packing your hospital bag early and getting to know your care team before your due date can also help you feel more prepared. Our team is available to answer questions at any stage of your pregnancy.
