A cesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. It's an alternative method of childbirth when a vaginal delivery may pose risks to the mother or baby or when a vaginal delivery is not possible or advisable.
During a C-section:
Cesarean sections can be planned (elective) or performed as emergency procedures during labor or when complications arise that require immediate delivery to ensure the safety of the mother or baby.
C-sections are major surgical procedures and involve some risks, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, and longer recovery times compared to vaginal deliveries. However, they can be life-saving for both the mother and baby when vaginal delivery poses risks or complications arise during labor.
The decision for a C-section is typically made by healthcare professionals based on the specific circumstances of each pregnancy and delivery. They weigh the risks and benefits to ensure the safest possible outcome for both the mother and baby.
