* Say life - threatening
complications frequently arise during
childbirth, particularly hemorrhaging
involving the mother and fetal distress; lay midwives — those who are self - trained — are not well prepared to deal with such emergencies.
With skyrocketing medical costs and increasing complexities of
childbirth, the delivery expenses in a good hospital may range from Rs. 50,000 to 1.5 lakh or maybe more, varying as per the
complications involved in the
childbirth process i.e., from normal delivery to caesarean.
