Cesarean

Hi.

what is the delivery under water called? Is there any specific word for it?

I know just cesarean and natural way of delivery. Are there any other kinds of delivery? What are they called?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Hi,

Thank you Iman for your input in this matter.
