Speaking on the occasion Dr Padmapriya Vivek, Head of Department, Obstetrics, Gynaecology & IVF, Gleneagles Global Health City said, “For every expectant mother childbirth is a positive, life-changing experience and we aim to make it a safe and comfortable experience. But factors like sedentary lifestyle, wrong dietary habits and fear of labour pain are the main reason for the surge in C sections in India. To make pregnant women ' think Normal', we need to educate the pregnant women on, how to manage the pain during childbirth, how a natural birthing would be a positive experience for the mother and child and about the availability of various methods in 'painless' labour. When 'painless' natural birthing is offered as a choice, the expectant mother will readily opt that as a mode normal birth and will soon ' think Normal ‘added, Dr Padmapriya Vivek

Dr Ravindranath, Founder and Chairman, Gleneagles Global Hospitals Group said, In India, the number of babies born through C section has doubled, with the country recording 9% of births thru C section in 2005-06. This rose to 18% in 2015 -16, although the WHO recommended the level of C section is only 10 to 15%. (Source- the Lancet).C sections are life-saving interventions in certain conditions like the abnormal position of the baby, bleeding from the placental bed, uncontrolled hypertension etc. But nowadays C sections are being performed due to Absence of spontaneous onset of labour pain, Failure of induction & Maternal request due to fear of labour pain and wanting an auspicious time of birth, etc.
Dr Thamizhachi Thangapandian, Member of Parliament (South Chennai) felicitated Dr Padmapriya , Head of Department, Obstetrics, Gynaecology & IVF, Gleneagles Global Health City Gleneagles Global Health City for performing the highest number of normal deliveries and for getting “ Best Gynaecologist in Chennai “ award recently  in New Delhi.
A balanced diet, healthy dietary habits, appropriate weight gain based on BMI during pregnancy and antenatal exercises will help to get them into spontaneous labour, leading to a Normal delivery. When Induction is thought twice due to medical conditions like gestational diabetes, cholestasis of pregnancy, gestational hypertension and post-dated pregnancy, instead of C section, chances of normal delivery will be high if the above-mentioned lifestyle modifications are followed. Thirdly, fear of labour pain. This fear of pain has become one of the commonest reasons for requesting a C section. These conditions can be addressed and resolved, to reduce the climbing percentage of C sections that are reaching alarming epidemic levels in our country only normal birthing will bring a positive impact and experience in both the mother and child.
