About Normal Delivery (Vaginal Birth)
A normal vaginal delivery is the birth of a baby through the birth canal without surgical intervention. It includes prenatal monitoring, labour and delivery, and post-delivery care. The cost typically covers the obstetrician, midwife, delivery room, and a standard hospital stay of 1–2 days.
What to Expect
When labour begins, you are admitted to the hospital. Contractions are monitored. An epidural may be offered for pain relief (often billed separately). After delivery, mother and baby stay 1–2 days for observation. The total package typically includes prenatal visits in the final weeks.
