Childbirth

Welcoming your baby into the world is one of life’s most profound experiences. At MAA Women’s Health in Cumming, Georgia, board-certified OB/GYN Padmavathi Pagadala, MD, provides personalized, compassionate care through every stage of pregnancy, labor, and delivery. With a focus on safety, comfort, and respect for your birth preferences, Dr. Pagadala and her team guide you through each step — from prenatal visits to postpartum recovery — ensuring you feel supported and confident throughout your childbirth journey.

What is childbirth care?

Childbirth care encompasses the comprehensive medical and emotional support you receive during labor and delivery. Whether you’re planning a natural birth, want pain management options, or need specialized monitoring for a high-risk pregnancy, Dr. Pagadala works closely with you to create a birth plan that aligns with your needs and wishes. Her goal is to provide a safe, calm, and empowering environment where you can welcome your new baby with confidence and peace of mind.

Throughout labor, Dr. Pagadala and her team monitor your and your baby’s well-being, providing guidance and reassurance every step of the way. From your first contractions to the moment you hold your baby, you’ll have an experienced, compassionate provider by your side.

What childbirth options are available?

At MAA Women’s Health, Dr. Pagadala offers individualized care for a variety of birth preferences and medical needs, including:

• Vaginal delivery: The most common type of birth, with continuous support and monitoring to ensure your safety and comfort.
• Cesarean delivery (C-section): Recommended when medically necessary to protect the health of the mother or baby.
• Induced labor: Used when there are medical indications or when pregnancy extends beyond term.
• Pain management options: Including epidural anesthesia, IV medications, or natural pain-relief techniques such as breathing, movement, and hydrotherapy.
• High-risk pregnancy support: For patients with conditions such as hypertension, gestational diabetes, or prior pregnancy complications.

Dr. Pagadala works collaboratively with nurses and hospital staff to ensure each delivery is as smooth and safe as possible, honoring your birth plan whenever circumstances allow.

What happens after childbirth?

After delivery, Dr. Pagadala continues to provide attentive postpartum care. She monitors your recovery, manages any complications such as bleeding or infection, and supports your transition into motherhood. This includes guidance on breastfeeding, postpartum emotional health, and physical healing.

You’ll also receive recommendations for postpartum visits to ensure your body heals properly and to discuss family planning, contraception, and long-term reproductive health. Dr. Pagadala’s approach emphasizes open communication, empathy, and evidence-based care — helping new mothers feel seen, supported, and cared for every step of the way.
