Caesarean Delivery

You need to be aware of your delivery options when you are pregnant. Either a natural birth (through the vagina) or a cesarean section (by C-section) is used to deliver the baby. In a C-section delivery, your baby is delivered through an incision created in the abdomen and uterus. This procedure is recommended if vaginal birth is risky or impractical or when your or your baby’s health is at stake.

Reasons for Caesarean Delivery

- There are obstructions, such as a uterine fibroid or a pelvic fracture, or if there is a chance of your child having a congenital anomaly; - There is cephalopelvic disproportion, meaning your baby’s body or head is relatively large, obstructing safe delivery or if the baby’s average size is too small for the delivery; - Your baby is in a transverse position, meaning it is in the horizontal or sideways position in the uterus; - Your baby is in a breech position, i.e. your baby’s feet or buttocks enter the pelvis first at the time of delivery; - You have a history of C-section delivery. It might also cause Placenta Previa that can block your baby’s birth out of the cervix; - You're expecting multiple births; - You have some health issues, such as genetic herpes, at the time of delivery. Your gynaecologist may perform an unexpected C-section if your labour does...

Who is at Risk?

A C-section is often safer for the mother and the baby than a vaginal birth. Sometimes, if there is a medical emergency, such as if your baby's heart rate drops dangerously low, an unanticipated C-section may be recommended. Like any other surgery, C-section delivery also involves certain risks, including: - 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 - Fetal injury - Weakness of the uterine wall due to a cut - Risks associated with general anesthesia

Types of C-section Incisions

There are 3 types of Cesarean section incisions: Low transverse: This is also known as a bikini incision since it involves making a low, horizontal cut along the bikini line. Low vertical: This procedure resembles a transverse section but involves cutting across the lower abdomen vertically rather than horizontally. High vertical: This incision has a form that resembles a low vertical incision. However, the stomach is sliced crosswise and high up on the abdomen.

Preparation for Caesarean Delivery

You may need to do specific blood tests before a C-section to examine your red blood cell count and determine the risk of anesthesia-related problems. Even if your doctor has advised a vaginal birth, discuss the possibility of a C-section with your doctor long before your due date.

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

The time to recover from a C-section is more than a vaginal delivery. After the anesthesia wears off, you will begin to feel the pain from the incisions and gastrointestinal issues. You may have trouble taking deep breaths, turning your body, and applying pressure to the pedals with ease. This is why most women stay at the hospital for a minimum of 2-3 days after the delivery. You may also need help getting up from bed several days after the delivery. Complete recovery may take between 4 to 6 weeks.

Success Rate of Cesarean Delivery

C-section births are generally successful. Considering its safety for both mother and child, currently, every third child born in India is via C-section.
