Caesarean Delivery

Being pregnant does not just mean you need to prepare yourself for being a mother; you should also be aware of the delivery options - both vaginal or normal delivery and surgical or cesarean delivery.

Reasons for Caesarean Delivery

Some common indications of a Cesarean section include: - Obstructions like a uterine fibroid or a pelvic fracture, or if your child is expected to have a congenital anomaly; - Cephalopelvic disproportion, where either the head or body of your baby too large or it is small for normal and safe delivery. - The transverse position of your baby, where it lies horizontally or sideways in the uterus; - Breech position of your baby, i.e. its feet or buttocks enter the pelvis first at the time of delivery; - Having a c-section history; - Expecting multiple births, i.e. twins or more; - Placenta Previa, where the blood vessels that connect the placenta to your uterus may tear, making it dangerous for both mother and the baby; - Genetic herpes-like health condition. Your doctor may consider an unplanned C-section if labour isn't progressing, the umbilical cord is encircled around your baby's neck or body, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall before your baby is born, and there is foetal distress, or your baby's heart rate is irregular during labour.

Who is at Risk?

For both the mother and the child, a C-section operation is usually safer than a vaginal birth. Occasionally, in the event of an emergency, such as when your baby's heart rate dangerously drops, an unanticipated C-section may be considered. 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 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 called a bikini incision because a low horizontal cut is made across the bikini line. Low vertical: This is similar to the transverse section, but a vertical cut is made across the lower abdomen instead of making a horizontal cut. High vertical: The shape of this incision is similar to that of a low vertical incision. However, the cut is made high up on the abdomen and across the stomach.

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

Every doctor follows a different way of C-section. However, the general steps 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. Your doctor may prepare you for anesthesia, clean your belly with an antiseptic, cover the incision site with a sterile drape, and raise a sterile curtain between your head and lower body before performing a cesarean section surgery. Your doctor will next make an incision through your skin and into your abdomen. It takes less time to do an emergency cesarean than a scheduled one, but the method is the same. Until and unless there are no complications, you can hold your baby right after returning to consciousness.

Recovery Care

In comparison to a vaginal delivery, a C-section recovery period is longer. You may start to experience incisional discomfort and gastrointestinal issues when the anesthesia wears off. Taking deep breaths, turning your body, and smoothly putting pressure on the pedals may all be difficult for you. Most women spend two to three days in the hospital following the delivery. You might require assistance getting out of bed for several days afterward. Up to six weeks may be needed for complete recovery.

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.
