C-Section (Cesarean Section)

What is Cesarean Delivery?

A Cesarean delivery – also called a C-section or Cesarean section – is a child’s surgical delivery. There is an incision in the mother’s stomach and another in the uterus.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this is a common procedure for distributing approximately one-third of the children in the United States.

Cesarean delivery is usually avoided before 39 weeks of pregnancy so that it is time to develop in the child’s womb. Occasionally, complications arise and Cesarean delivery should be done before 39 weeks.

Why a Cesarean delivery is done

A Cesarean delivery or c-section is usually done when complications from pregnancy make traditional vaginal birth difficult, or put the mother or child at risk. Cesarean delivery is sometimes planned in pregnancy, but when complications occur during labor, they often perform.

Reasons for a Cesarean delivery include:
•  Baby’s development status
•  The child’s head is very large for the birth canal
•  The baby is coming out first leg (born of birth)
•  Early pregnancy complications
•  Mother’s health problems, such as high blood pressure or unstable heart disease
•  Genital herpes is activated in the mother, which can be transmitted to the child
•  Previous Cesarean delivery
•  Problems with placenta, such as Pleasant obstruction or placenta previa
•  Problems with navel
•  Reduce oxygen supply to baby
•  Stopping labor
•  The child is coming out of the shoulder first (transverse labor) Read More
