'The healthiest start for mother and baby is normal birth'

Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Op. Dr. Ebru Sinem Torlak stated that birth is not just the arrival of a baby but also the embodiment of a mother's strength, patience, and love. "With the right preparation, a natural birth can be a safe and positive experience for most women," she said.

'THE BODY IS NATURALLY PREPARING FOR BIRTH'

Dr. Torlak explained that normal birth occurs when the cervix gradually dilates with uterine contractions and the baby passes through the birth canal to be born. "The mother's body naturally prepares for this process," he said. "Hormones, muscle structure, and the birth canal all work together for this miracle. Proper breathing techniques, regular pregnancy monitoring, and mental preparation for birth make this process both easier and safer."

'EVERY BIRTH STORY IS SPECIAL'

Dr. Torlak emphasized that every pregnancy progresses differently, saying, "Sometimes a cesarean section may be necessary for the health of the mother or baby. Our priority is always the safety of both mother and baby. Regular checkups, compliance with physician recommendations, and preparation for birth make vaginal birth a strong option."

Dr. Torlak concluded his remarks as follows:

Remember, every birth story is unique. As obstetricians, we are here to guide you through this journey and ensure you experience the process in the safest and most peaceful way possible.
