About Normal Delivery Baby

A normal delivery, or vaginal birth, is the natural process of childbirth where the baby is born through the birth canal without significant medical intervention. While primarily managed by an obstetrician, a neonatologist, a pediatrician specializing in newborn care, plays a crucial role immediately after birth. Their expertise ensures the baby's smooth transition to life outside the womb. The neonatologist performs a comprehensive assessment, including the Apgar score, checks vital signs, ensures proper breathing initiation, and screens for any immediate health concerns. This immediate, specialized care is vital for establishing breastfeeding, monitoring for jaundice, and providing essential vaccinations, setting the foundation for the newborn's long-term health and development.
