Birthing Options

Birthing with Dr Rockson

Birth is personal. Whether you are having your first or your fourth, every birth is different. At Dr Rockson Practise we strive to give every mother the space to birth her baby the way she feels comfortable. Sometimes however births don't go according to plan and we have alternative options at hand should you need it. Speak to our team about the different options available to you. Don't forget to ask questions! Education is empowerment. Going into labour prepared will give you the best chance of having the birth you want.

Natural Vaginal Birth

Your natural vaginal birth can take place in one of our three hospitals:

​

Busamed Modderfontein

Waterfall Netcare Hospital

Carstenhof Life Hospital

 

Dr Rockson and supporting midwives will give you the very best care you need throughout your labour and delivery. 

​

Join our antenatal classes with our in-house midwife to help you prepare for your birth.

Cesarean Section

If you have elected to have a Cesarean by choice or has been recommended to you by Dr Rockson, a date will be discussed and scheduled for the birth. You will be admitted into our maternity ward on the morning of the birth. After your operation you will stay in our maternity ward for approximately 3 days whilst you recover alongside with your baby. Sometimes a natural birth doesn't go according to plan, in which case you may need an emergency cesarean. 

VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)

If you have had a Cesarean before and would like to try to birth naturally, you can! Providing it has been cleared by your doctor, a VBAC is certainly possible.

Assisted Natural Birth

Should you need it, we have options available to help your baby come into the world. These typically are used when a baby needs a little extra help. These options reduce the risk for the need of an emergency c-section. 

Pain Relief Options

We have many options available for our birthing mothers. Please talk to the doctor about the options available to you.
