Natural Birth Boutique

Bloom Healthcare is an NABH (Entry level) certified Multi Speciality Hospital

Bloom is a “Natural Birth Boutique,” unit attached to Bloom Healthcare hospital. We provide a home-like environment, rather than the hospital labor ward. Because we believe that pregnancy and birth are normal processes, we don’t believe in restricting women; this is why we generally allow food/drink, music, and the attendance of family and spouse/partner.

"We also follow the Indian Obstetrics Norms when there is a deviation from the natural process"

Women are free to act more spontaneously during their birth, such as finding comfortable postures that assist in labor. Active birth, rather than lying down in bed, is encouraged!

Vaginal Birth After Cesarean

There is a common misconception that if a woman has had a cesarean delivery, a c-section, then any subsequent birth must also be a c-section. However there is a possibility to deliver her next baby vaginally. This is called vaginal birth after cesarean, or VBAC, which we support for eligible candidates.

Birthing Services

  • Health assessment and care throughout the antenatal, birth and postnatal experience (regular visits are required).
  • Personalised attention to each woman’s individual needs and choices.
  • Information and support to individuals choice.

Hypno Birth

Bloom provides Hypno Birth sessions to prepare women for natural labor and birth. Through the use as self-hypnosis, the mind can be reprogrammed to expect relaxation and pleasure rather than fear and pain. This process reduces the amount of adrenaline that is produced, addressing one of the primary causes of dysfunction in labor. A hypno-birth also reduces the need for interventions including caesarean sections.

Obstetrician, Gynaecologist, Neonatologist, Pediatrician, Childbirth Educator, HypnoBirth Practitioner, Aquanatal Instructor, Pregnancy Massage, Labor support services, Lactation Consultant, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist,Post Pregnancy Massage, Ayurvedic Massage, Speech Therapist, Neurodevelopment Therapist, Psychiatrist, Integrated child development centre are available if required.

Delayed Cord Clamping

Because we are committed to providing evidence-based care, we make sure babies have delayed cord clamping. Contrary to what is routinely practised throughout India (immediate cord clamping), this is a a birth practice where the umbilical cord is not clamped or cut until after pulsations have ceased, or until after the placenta is delivered. This way, the baby receives as much of it’s blood as possible and therefore is more likely to have a healthy start. Many of parents are choosing delayed cord clamping for their baby. We have even had parents who had delayed cord clamping for 2 hours and more.

Delayed Cord Clamping

We also offer the service of placental encapsulation. This where the placenta is steamed, dehydrated, ground, and placed into pills for the mother to consume. Tradition and holistic medical customs embrace a number of potential advantages which come from ingesting the placenta. Possible benefits are: increased release of the hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus return to normal size and encourages bonding with the infant, increase in CRH, a stress-reducing hormone, decrease in post-partum depression levels and Increase in milk production.
