I am currently in my 28th week of pregnancy. I am returning (from US) to India (Chennai) soon for the delivery.
My questions are pertaining to the procedure for hospitalisation for Labour and delivery. I plan to go the leading hospital in Chennai. I have some Q’s; Some advise please. I would really not like to get off on the wrong foot with the doctor.
1. Like in the US & UK, do the doctors here consider requests for the kind of delivery, childbirth one would like to have. For example- I would like to walk around during the initial stage; I would not like to labour reclined in the bed. I would prefer a more natural position, etc.
2. My next question – I really do not want an enema. I have a major phobia about it. Is it true that Indian hospitals insist on one?
I would very much appreciate it if any of you could educate me on the custom, Procedure. I don’t wish to offend the doctor who may be assisting me.
Thank you in advance

Have it in USA.
Find a doctor ahead of time and see he/she can accommodate you. It may also depend on hospitals protocol, nurses on duty.
If these are a must get the delivery done in USA but it Will be same deal.
