Cesarean Delivery

Cesarean delivery or C-section or cesarean birth is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through incisions in the mother’s abdominal wall and uterus. This method is preferred when vaginal delivery cannot be done safely. You can plan a C-section ahead of time, or doctors can decide on it at run time.

Who Needs a Cesarean Delivery?

A Cesarean delivery may be planned in advance or performed during labor depending on medical conditions.

Planned Cesarean Delivery

Previous C-section

Future delivery depends on uterine condition and risk of rupture.

Twins / Triplets

Multiple pregnancies may require surgical delivery.

Placenta Previa

Placenta blocks the cervix, increasing bleeding risk.

Obstruction

Fibroids or pelvic issues may block delivery.

CPD

Baby too large or pelvis too small.

Abnormal Position

Breech or transverse positioning.

Maternal Health Conditions

Heart disease, high BP, or other medical issues.

Emergency Cesarean Delivery

Prolonged Labor

Labor not progressing or insufficient dilation.

Placental Abruption

Placenta separates from uterus before delivery.

Fetal Distress

Baby shows signs of distress during labor.

Cord Compression

Umbilical cord wrapped around baby.

Cord Prolapse

Cord comes out before the baby.

Cesarean Delivery Procedure

Generally, women are given anesthesia in the lower half. The doctor makes a horizontal incision on the abdomen skin. Through the abdominal muscles, doctors reach the uterus, where they make another horizontal or transverse incision. The baby is gently pulled out, and the umbilical cord is cut. The newborn is safely handed over to a nurse.

Post-op Recovery

The doctor suggests medications for pain and discomfort after a C-section. The recovery period is a little longer than for vaginal births. The mother and the baby would stay in the hospital for about 2 or 3 days.

Breast feeding After a Cesarean Delivery

Breastfeeding is an important part of bonding with your baby and providing him or her with essential nutrients. If you have had a cesarean delivery, you may still be able to breastfeed your baby. However, you may need to adjust to ensure you and your baby are comfortable during feedings. Your doctor or a lactation consultant can provide guidance and support to help you breastfeed successfully after cesarean delivery.
