C-Section Delivery
Cesarean section
C-section delivery, also known as cesarean delivery, is a surgical procedure in which the baby is delivered through an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It is performed when a vaginal delivery is not possible or safe for the mother or baby.
When is C-Section Delivery Necessary?
C-section delivery may be necessary in certain circumstances, such as:
- Fetal distress
- Abnormal fetal position
- Placenta previa
- Multiple pregnancies
- Maternal health conditions
- Previous C-section delivery
Steps of C-Section Delivery
- Anesthesia: The mother is given anesthesia to numb the lower half of her body.
- Incision: A horizontal or vertical incision is made in the abdomen and uterus.
- Delivery: The baby is delivered through the incision.
- Placenta Delivery: The placenta is removed from the uterus.
- Closure: The incision is closed with stitches or staples.
Post-Delivery Hospital Stay
After a C-section delivery, the mother typically stays in the hospital for 2-4 days to monitor her recovery and ensure that she and the baby are healthy.

When C-Section Delivery is Life-Saving
