Obstetrics Care at Yaal Fertility Centre, Chennai
Safe, attentive labour, delivery, and immediate postpartum care
What is Obstetrics Care?
Obstetrics care at Yaal Fertility Centre focuses on the labour, delivery, and immediate postpartum period, the stage where close clinical judgement matters most. Our team supports vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections as needed, using continuous fetal heart rate and contraction monitoring in labour to identify concerns such as prolonged labour, malpresentation, or fetal distress early. For women who have had a previous caesarean, whether a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) may be appropriate is assessed individually, looking at the type of uterine incision used previously, the reason for that caesarean, how this pregnancy is progressing, and the availability of immediate surgical backup if needed. Immediately after delivery, we actively manage the third stage of labour to reduce the risk of postpartum haemorrhage, and support early skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding initiation, while monitoring both mother and baby closely through the first hours after birth. Throughout, the aim is to support as natural a delivery as is safely possible while being fully prepared to act quickly if complications arise, keeping both mother and baby at the centre of every decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to have a normal delivery?+
Whether a vaginal delivery is suitable depends on your health, your baby's position and wellbeing, and how labour progresses. Your obstetrician will discuss the safest option for you as your pregnancy and labour progress, rather than deciding this in advance.
How is it decided whether I need a caesarean section?+
A caesarean may be planned in advance for specific medical reasons, or recommended during labour if concerns arise for you or your baby. Your care team will explain the reasons clearly whenever this decision needs to be made.
Can I attempt a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean (VBAC)?+
VBAC may be an option for some women, depending on factors such as the type of incision used in the earlier caesarean, the reason it was needed, how the current pregnancy is progressing, and the availability of immediate surgical backup during labour. This is assessed individually with your obstetrician rather than assumed either way.
What happens immediately after delivery?+
Immediately after delivery, we actively manage the third stage of labour — the delivery of the placenta — to reduce the risk of postpartum haemorrhage, and support early skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding initiation where possible. Both mother and baby are then monitored closely for a period of time to check recovery and rule out complications such as excessive bleeding. Our team stays involved through this immediate postpartum window before you move to routine postnatal care.
