Maternal Health

It is a period of intense stress and strain to the body, so a woman should be considered as a whole, including the body, mind, and spirit. She should be guided with the right dietary and supplementary advice, physical strength training even prior to conception so that she can navigate through her childbirth with ease. The mother’s emotional and psychological preparedness should be optimized. A holistic approach to pregnancy and childbirth also recognizes that a woman's body is naturally designed to conceive, nourish, and give birth to a baby. It trusts the natural progression of pregnancy and labor. We always start with the least invasive intervention. Although we firmly shun unnecessary intervention in childbirth, we are a group of doctors with utmost faith in science.We advocate the appropriate use of technology to its full extent, in a thoughtful and well-considered manner. A holistic approach respects the normal processes of pregnancy and birth, but recognizes the need for assistance if appropriate. Each situation is unique, requiring individual choices and care. Note: a holistic approach is not "natural childbirth," which, as a term, has widely different meaning, including a complete avoidance of medication or interventions.
