Cesarean Section :
A C-section, otherwise known as cesarean section, is an operation in which an infant is delivered through incision made into the abdominal and uterine walls of the mother. The delivery is performed when a vaginal delivery is considered risky for both the mother and baby. Complications such as Multiple pregnancies, a larger than average size of the baby, placenta previa, high blood pressure or if the baby is in a breech presentation are some of the reasons to perform a C-section. A C-section will sometimes be planned but it could also be an unplanned event due to lack of progression in labour or if there are signs of distress in the baby. During the C-section, the mother is usually awake while receiving anesthesia at the lower part of the body. The gynecologist cuts at the abdominal and uterine walls of the mother, through incisions, and closes. The recovery time is relatively little more as compared to the cases of normal delivery, and most of the mothers are required to rest, taking good care not to lift heavy for a longer period of time than usual. Treatment can be as simple as pain medication for the wound, and the patient may be sent home in three to five days post the procedure.
