Caesarean Section

A Caesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision made in the abdominal wall and uterus. Dr. Bhawani explains that this method is often employed when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby, such as in cases of fetal distress, breech presentation, or maternal health complications. The procedure involves making a horizontal or vertical incision in the lower abdomen, followed by careful extraction of the baby and placenta. While a C-section typically requires a longer recovery period compared to vaginal delivery, it can be life-saving and is sometimes planned to address specific medical needs. Dr. Bhawani emphasizes that the decision to proceed with a Caesarean section is made with careful consideration of both the mother’s and the baby’s health, aiming to ensure a safe and positive outcome for both.
