This is when you give birth to your baby through the vagina. The usual hospital stay is usually 2 days if there are no complications. Different types of vaginal deliveries have different terms such as:
• Spontaneous vaginal delivery: This occurs when you go into labor without the use of techniques or drugs that induce labor, thereafter delivering your baby in the normal manner.
• Assisted vaginal delivery: This is when your baby needs help to be born by the use of instruments which attach to her head. It's also called an instrumental vaginal delivery. This will be needed if labor is long and tiring.
• Induced vaginal delivery: This is when drugs and manual techniques are used to induce or initiate labor.
