Anam Clinic & Maternity Home provides both normal (vaginal) deliveries and caesarean section (C-section) deliveries. The type of delivery is decided with you, based on the health of mother and baby, and the plan may need to change during labour if that is safer.
Who it is for
- Pregnant women approaching their due date
- Women who had a C-section before and want to discuss this delivery
- Women who had their antenatal care elsewhere and want to deliver at the clinic
What to expect at the clinic
- A consultation before delivery to discuss your birth plan
- Monitoring of mother and baby during labour
- A clear explanation if a C-section is advised, and your consent before any procedure
- Care for mother and newborn after delivery
- Guidance on recovery, stitches, feeding and follow-up visits
When to see a doctor
- Regular, painful contractions
- Your water breaks or fluid is leaking
- Any bleeding
- The baby is moving less than usual
In an emergency, call the clinic immediately or go to the nearest emergency department.
Questions patients ask
Is a normal delivery possible after a previous C-section?
Sometimes it is. It depends on the reason for the earlier C-section, how you healed and your current pregnancy. This needs a careful assessment by the doctor, so please discuss it at your antenatal visits.
What should I bring for delivery?
Your CNIC, your previous reports and scans, clothes for you and the baby, and a family member to stay with you. Ask at your check-up if you need anything else.
