Frequently Asked Questions 

When should I book my first prenatal appointment?

We recommend scheduling your first visit as soon as you confirm your pregnancy. Ideally, this should be between 6 to 8 weeks of gestation. Early appointments help establish a baseline for your and your baby’s health and begin vital prenatal screenings.

What should I bring with me when I come to the maternity hospital for delivery?

We suggest bringing a maternity hospital bag with essentials like comfortable clothing, personal hygiene items, your ID (Aadhar Card) and medical records, baby clothes, and any items specified in your birth plan. A detailed checklist will be provided during your antenatal visits.

Do you offer maternity tours of your facilities?

Absolutely. We offer guided maternity tours where you can explore our labor rooms, delivery suites, recovery areas, and NICU. This helps you familiarise yourself with the environment and get answers to any last-minute questions.

Are maternity services covered under insurance at Max Hospitals?

Yes, many of our maternity services are covered by leading insurance providers. Our patient support team will help you understand your coverage, assist with pre-authorisations, and ensure a smooth billing process.

How do I know when it’s time to go to the maternity hospital?

If you experience regular contractions, your water breaks, any bleeding per vagina, or you notice decreased fetal movement, it's best to contact your doctor or head to the maternity hospital. During antenatal classes, we’ll also discuss signs of labor and when to call us.

Can I choose my obstetrician or delivery team?

Yes, you can select your primary obstetrician from our team of experienced specialists. While delivery teams operate on a rotational schedule, your preferred doctor will be involved in planning and guiding your care throughout your pregnancy.

What happens if my baby needs intensive care after birth?

If your baby requires specialised care, they will be admitted to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which is equipped to handle a wide range of conditions. Our neonatologists and NICU staff provide round-the-clock expert care.

Is a C-section painful?

C-sections are performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. However, some discomfort and soreness are common during the recovery period, which is typically longer than that of a vaginal delivery. Your care team will help manage pain and support a smooth recovery.

What type of delivery is less painful?

Pain experiences vary greatly. Vaginal deliveries can involve intense but shorter-term labor pain, while C-sections avoid labor pain but may come with longer recovery discomfort. Pain relief options — such as epidurals or spinal blocks — are available for both. Your doctor can help you choose what’s best for your situation.

How many hours of labor is normal?

Labor length varies. For first-time mothers, active labor can last around 12–18 hours, though it may be shorter or longer. Factors like the baby’s position, your health, and whether you’ve delivered before all play a role. Your doctor monitors labor progression closely to ensure safety and comfort.

Can I choose how I want to deliver my baby?

Yes, in many cases you can. Your doctor will help you understand the risks and benefits of vaginal birth versus C-section and guide you in creating a birth plan. However, sometimes medical needs may require a different approach to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
