Reasons for Caesarean Delivery

There are a few considerations taken into account for Cesarean delivery. These usually include: - Obstructions such as a uterine fibroid or a pelvic fracture or if your child is expected to have a congenital anomaly; - 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; - The transverse position of your baby, i.e. horizontal or sideways position in the uterus; - The breech position of your baby, i.e. your baby’s feet or buttocks, enter the pelvis first at the time of delivery; - You've had a previous C-section; - Giving birth to twins or more; - Placenta previa, where the placenta’s position can block your baby’s birth; - Health conditions like genetic herpes.

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

    If you have a planned cesarean delivery, the preparations are as follows: - Discussion with the doctor on the procedure - Signing of consent forms for surgery - Discussing anaesthesia options - Cleaning of the surgical area - Insertion of catheter - Positioning of heart and blood pressure monitors - Insertion of IV to deliver medicines and fluid - In case of an unplanned, emergency C-section, the doctor will want to deliver the baby quickly to avoid risk to the mother, baby, or both. There will be no time to prepare, and mostly the cesarean will be under general anaesthesia, as it is fast. In Rajkot, doctors discuss all the necessary preparations needed before the procedure.

Steps Involved in Caesarean Delivery

    You must reach out to the professional in Rajkot for faster recovery. Steps involved in a Cesarean delivery include: - Anesthesia preparation: The nature of the injury and level of consciousness would determine if to administer an epidural or general anesthesia. - Abdominal preparation: Give antiseptic treatment to the abdomen and oxygen ventilation to the baby. - Sterile draping: Covering the wound site, legs, and chest with a clean drape and a curtain between the head and the lower body section. - Incision: Cutting through the skin and abdominal wall, usually in a vertical or bikini incision. - Uterine incision: Cutting a 3 to 4-inch cross-section incision on the side of the uterine wall. - Baby delivery: Cutting the umbilical cord and then removing the placenta. - Incision closure: The stapling and stitching of the incisions. In emergency C-sections, the procedure is similar to normal, except that removing the baby takes only a few minutes. When mothers are awake during the process, they can have immediate contact with their newborn after the birth.

Recovery Care

    A C-section requires greater recuperation time than a vaginal delivery. You may start experiencing incisional discomfort and stomach aches when the anesthesia wears off. 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. Up to six weeks may be needed for full recovery.

Success Rate of Cesarean Delivery

    C-section deliveries are generally successful. According to current studies, every third child born in India is through a C-section delivery.
