Cesarean Section

It is also called C-section surgery. The mother's womb wall is cut to deliver the baby in this surgical process. Our well-versed and well-experienced doctors and staff make the process easy and comfortable. We ensure the shortest hospital stay and fastest recovery.

WHO SHOULD GO FOR IT?

• Obstructed labour

  • Blockage in the birth canal happens when the baby's head and the mother’s pelvic brim do not match despite severe uterine contraction. In this situation, the doctor goes for C-section surgery to take the baby out.

• Failure to progress

  • It sometimes happens when the cervix does not open and the labour process slows which obstructs the baby to move down to the birth canal, in such cases doctors opt for a C-section that is healthy for the mother and baby.

• Umbilical cord prolapse

  • In a normal delivery, the baby comes out first then the umbilical cord but in this complication, the cord comes before the baby, making it difficult for the baby to breathe and causing brain damage, in such cases, the doctor suggests immediate surgery.

PROCESS

• Anaesthesia

  • The first procedure is when the person is put on anaesthesia so that the woman does not feel the chronic pain of the surgery, sometimes epidural is in which you are awake during the whole procedure.

• Prep before surgery

  • Doctors clean the mother's womb with antiseptic. Mothers are also advised to not eat anything before the surgery. A sterile drape is put on the surgery area that prevents contact with unprepared skin.

• Surgery

  • After prepping, the doctor starts the surgery by making a surgical cut in the wall of the womb. The cut is either transverse or vertical. The doctor removes the baby safely from the womb. In the end, the umbilical cord is cut and the placenta, an organ that develops during pregnancy is removed. The belly of the woman is carefully stitched back.

• Follow-up steps

  • There are many follow-up steps after c-section surgery for a speedy recovery like getting rest and focusing on diet and nutrition. Jariwala Women’s Hospital doctors are specialized in getting speedy recovery after C-section surgery.
