What are the three types of delivery?

Published in Childbirth 1 min read

There are three main types of delivery for childbirth: vaginal delivery, assisted vaginal delivery, and Cesarean section (C-section).

Here's a breakdown of each type:

  • Vaginal Delivery: This is the most common type of birth, where the baby is born through the vaginal canal.

  • Assisted Vaginal Delivery: In some cases, tools like vacuum extractors or forceps are used to help guide the baby through the birth canal during vaginal delivery.

  • Cesarean Section (C-section): This is a surgical procedure where the baby is delivered through an incision made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. C-sections may be planned or performed in emergency situations.
