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 situations make it absolutely necessary to have a cesarean section, like - Uterine fibroid or a pelvic fracture, or if your child is expected to have a congenital anomaly; - Cephalopelvic disproportion, which means the head or body of your baby is too large for safe, normal delivery through your pelvis or if the baby is underdeveloped, making it too small for the delivery; - Transverse position of your baby, meaning it is in horizontal or sideways position in the uterus; - 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-sections. It may also cause Placenta Previa, where blood vessels may tear up, resulting in serious bleeding and putting both of you in danger; - Multiple births; - Certain health issues like genetic herpes. Your gynaecologist may decide to perform an unexpected C-s...

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

Your doctor can suggest that you undergo certain blood tests prior to a C-section to monitor the number of red blood cells and determine the likelihood of anaesthetic issues. Even if your doctor has advised a vaginal birth, discuss the possibility of a C-section long before your due date.

Steps Involved in Caesarean Delivery

A cesarean section surgery can be done in various ways, but most involve these steps: - 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 or gynecologist may first prepare you for anesthesia, wipe your abdomen 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. The doctor will then make an abdominal incision by cutting through your skin. Although the procedure is the same, a planned cesarean takes longer than an emergency one. Soon after delivery, you may hold your newborn.

Recovery Care

The full C-section recovery time is about four to six weeks, but it can vary from patient to patient. Some recovery care tips are discussed below: - Take plenty of rest - Manage the pain of the C-section surgery with medicines - Exercise lightly - Keep the wound clean - Look out for infections If you follow these, your C-section recovery will proceed fast and smoothly. For more detailed tips to recover quickly after the procedure, consult doctors in Pathanamthitta.

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.
