What is a C-Section?
A Cesarean Section, commonly referred to as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. This procedure is often recommended when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby.

When is a C-Section Recommended?
A C-section may be planned in advance or performed as an emergency procedure in situations such as:

1. Complications with Vaginal Delivery:

   • Labor is not progressing as expected.
   • Fetal distress (e.g., irregular heartbeat).

2. High-Risk Pregnancies:

   • Multiple pregnancies (twins or more).
   • Placenta previa (placenta covering the cervix).
   • Breech position (baby is not head-down).

3. Maternal Health Conditions:

   • Chronic health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes.
   • Infections such as HIV or active genital herpes.

4. Previous C-Sections or Uterine Surgeries:

   • To avoid complications like uterine rupture.

5. Other Complications:

   • Large baby size (macrosomia).
   • Umbilical cord prolapse.

What to Expect During a C-Section?

1. Preparation:

   • The patient is administered anesthesia, typically spinal or epidural, to ensure comfort during the procedure.
   • Vital signs, including heart rate and blood pressure, are monitored closely.

2. The Procedure:

   • A small incision is made in the abdomen and uterus.
   • The baby is carefully delivered, followed by the placenta.

3. Post-Delivery Care:

   • The incision is closed with sutures or staples.
   • The mother and baby are monitored to ensure they recover well.

The entire procedure typically takes about 45-60 minutes.

Post-C-Section Recovery
Recovery after a C-section requires special care and attention:

• Hospital Stay: Most mothers stay in the hospital for 3-5 days post-surgery for observation.
• Pain Management: Medications are prescribed to manage pain and discomfort.
• Incision Care: Proper care of the surgical site is essential to prevent infections.
• Breastfeeding Support: Our lactation consultants assist mothers in breastfeeding comfortably after the surgery.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups ensure proper healing and recovery.
