Caesarean Delivery

Being pregnant means being prepared to be a mother as well as the first step of being a mother - giving birth. Two procedures are followed for this - normal vaginal delivery and surgical c-section delivery. Contrary to a vaginal birth, sometimes a child may be delivered by making an incision in the abdomen. This procedure is called a C-section delivery. C-section is recommended when a vaginal birth is unsafe, and there is a risk to your and your child’s health.

Reasons for Caesarean Delivery

Some crucial situations absolutely need a cesarean section, such as the following: - If there is cephalopelvic disproportion, i.e. your baby’s body or head is too large to pass through your pelvis safely, or if the baby’s average size is too small for the delivery; - If you have placenta previa, i.e. the placenta can block your baby’s exit out of the cervix; - If your baby is in a transverse position, i.e. in the horizontal or sideways position in the uterus; - If you have had a previous C-section; - If you are expecting multiple births, i.e. twins, triplets, or more; - If your baby is in a breech position, i.e. your baby’s feet or buttocks enter the pelvis first at the time of delivery; - If you have a health condition such as genetical herpes; - If there are any obstructions, such as a uterine fibroid or a pelvic fracture, or if your child is expected to have a congenital anomaly. An unplanned C-section may be considered if labor isn't progressing, the umbilical cord is twisted around your baby's neck or body, the placenta dissociates from the uterus wall before the birth of your baby, and there is fetal distress, meaning your baby has an irregular heart rate at the time of labor.

Who is at Risk?

    In most situations, a C-section operation is safer than a vaginal birth for both the mother and the child. An unanticipated C-section may occasionally be considered in the event of an emergency, such as when your baby's heart rate gets dangerously low. - Like any other surgery, even C-section delivery involves certain risks. These include the following: - Infection - Blood loss - Bladder injury - Placental abnormalities in future pregnancies - Embolism, i.e. breakage of a blood clot and its entry into the bloodstream - Bowel injury - Foetal injury - Weakness of the uterine wall due to a cut - Risks associated with general anaesthesia

Types of C-section Incisions

    There are 3 types of Cesarean section incisions: Low transverse: A low horizontal cut is made across the bikini line in this procedure, which is also known as a bikini incision. Low vertical: This procedure resembles a transverse section, except a vertical cut is made across the lower abdomen as opposed to a horizontal one. High vertical: This incision resembles a low vertical incision in terms of shape. However, the stomach is cut horizontally and high up on the abdomen.

Preparation for Caesarean Delivery

    Before a C-section, your doctor may advise you to do specific blood tests to check the number of red blood cells and assess the risk of anaesthesia complications. Even if your doctor has recommended a vaginal delivery, it is advisable that you talk to them once before the delivery, discussing the likelihood of a C-section.

Steps Involved in Caesarean Delivery

    There are several steps involved in a c-section delivery, which may differ from one doctor to another or even from hospital to another. However, some generic ones include: - Showering at home with an antiseptic soap the night before and the morning of your C-section; - Not shaving your pubic hair within 24 hours of your C-section to avoid infection; - Having your abdomen cleansed at the hospital. To perform a cesarean section surgery, the doctor first gets you ready for anaesthesia, applies antiseptic on your belly, covers the incision site with a sterile drape, and raises a sterile curtain between your head and lower body. An incision will next be made through your skin and into your belly by the doctor. The procedure for an emergency caesarean is the same as for a scheduled one; however, it takes less time. If everything goes well and your baby is in good health, you can soon hold your newborn right after the anaesthetic effects wear off.

Recovery Care

    A C-section takes longer to heal than a vaginal delivery. You may start to experience incisional and gastric discomfort after the effect of anesthesia is gone. You could find it difficult to inhale deeply or to turn your body easily and hit the pedals. Most women spend two to three days in the hospital following the delivery. After giving birth, you might want assistance getting out of bed for a few days. It might take 4 to 6 weeks to heal completely.

Success Rate of Cesarean Delivery

    Delivery through C-section is normally safe and successful. This has convinced Indian doctors and parents to have more cesarean deliveries; the data shows that one in three births is followed by this procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

The delivery takes 15 to 20 mins. Another 45 minutes may be needed to stitch the incisions on the uterus and abdomen.

If you wish to have a C-section for non-medical reasons or due to fear of vaginal birth and labour, you can discuss your concerns with your doctor before the delivery date.

C-section is no different from vaginal birth in terms of breastfeeding your baby. You can breastfeed your child after birth unless there are any complications.
