A Caesarean section, often referred to as C-section, is a surgical procedure in which a baby is delivered through an incision made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This method is typically performed when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the health of the mother or the baby. Common indications for a Caesarean section include complications during labor, such as a stalled progress, fetal distress, or abnormal positioning of the baby. In some cases, pre-existing medical conditions or concerns about the size of the baby may also lead to the decision to perform a C-section. The procedure is carried out under anesthesia, and the healthcare provider makes an incision in the lower abdomen to access the uterus. The baby is then gently delivered, followed by the removal of the placenta. While a Caesarean section is a common and safe surgical procedure, it involves a longer recovery period compared to a vaginal delivery. The decision to opt for a C-section is carefully considered by healthcare professionals, and discussions with expectant mothers involve weighing the potential risks and benefits for both maternal and fetal well-being.
