Caesarean Delivery

During a C-section, an incision is made in the abdomen and uterus to deliver your baby. When giving birth vaginally is risky, impractical, or when your health is at stake, your doctor may advise a C-section delivery. In C-section delivery, you will deliver your baby through an incision made in the abdomen and uterus. Your doctor will advise a C-section delivery when giving birth vaginally is unsafe, impractical, or when your health is at risk.

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.

Who is at Risk?

    In most cases, a C-section operation is safer than a vaginal birth for both the mother and the baby. Sometimes, an unplanned c-section may be considered an emergency, e.g. when your baby's heart rate drops to an unsafe level. Unlike any other surgery, even C-section delivery involves certain risks. These include the following: - Blood loss - Infection - Embolism, i.e. breakage of a blood clot and its entry into the bloodstream - Bladder injury - Bowel injury - Fetal injury - Weakness of the uterine wall due to a cut - Placental abnormalities in future pregnancies - 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

    More recovery time is needed following a C-section than a vaginal delivery. When the anesthetic wears off, gas pains and incisional discomfort will begin. You could find it challenging to breathe deeply or to move your body and press the pedals with ease. Most mothers stay in the hospital after birth for two to three days after birth. You might want help getting out of bed for a few days after giving delivery. Full recovery may take up to six weeks.

Success Rate of Cesarean Delivery

    A C-section delivery is a safe procedure, but it is still a major surgery. The success rate of a C-section is good as it reduces the life risks for both mother and child if done under proper conditions by a qualified surgeon. C- Section delivery is a good and lifesaving choice when a vaginal birth is not possible or there is a danger to mother and baby. The success rate in Surat is also increasing because of the availability of skilled doctors.
