Name: Dr. Meghna Bharath

Dear All,

I'm Dr. Meghna Bharath. I'm a strong proponent of Natural Birthing.

In the run-up to becoming a Mom myself, I prepared for Natural birth and delivered naturally. Recently I encouraged and supported my younger sister and close friends deliver naturally as well [through remote advice, since we were across a 10-hour timezone :)].

With the exception of medically unavoidable C-sections, I believe that a lot of C-section deliveries are due to the lack of awareness, emotional support, and preparation. A woman with a low-risk pregnancy can deliver naturally if she prepares for it and has support from her family and her health care team.

Therefore, I'm encouraged to help any expecting mother (with a wish to deliver naturally) using the same principles I applied to myself and my sister. I'm also doing research on expecting moms on how they are preparing for the birth of their baby.

Tell me your story. What did you feel during your pregnancy and did you feel heard and understood by your health care team?
Did you get to make a choice on how your baby should be birthed?
Were all the tests and ultrasounds explained to you to your satisfaction?

This information is for research only. You do not have to disclose any personal information.

Please feel free to get in touch with me at dr.meghnabharath@gmail dot com. I would be happy to answer any of your queries.
