Cesarean Section

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.
