Caesarean Delivery

When you are pregnant, it is important to prepare yourself mentally. Make yourself aware of both natural and surgical delivery processes. Your baby is delivered via an incision made in the abdomen and uterus during a C-section. If normal birth through the vagina is unsafe or when it involves health risks for both mother and the baby, doctors recommend a C-section delivery.

Reasons for Caesarean Delivery

Some crucial situations absolutely need a cesarean section, such as the following: - If there is 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; - If you have placenta previa, i.e. the placenta can block your baby’s exit out of the cervix; - If your baby is in a transverse position, i.e. in the horizontal or sideways position in the uterus; - If you have had a previous C-section; - If you are expecting multiple births, i.e. twins, triplets, or more; - If your baby is in a breech position, i.e. your baby’s feet or buttocks enter the pelvis first at the time of delivery; - If you have a health condition such as genetical herpes; - If there are any obstructions, such as a uterine fibroid or a pelvic fracture, or if your child is expected to hav...

Who is at Risk?

In most cases, a C-section is safer for the mother and the infant than a vaginal delivery. An unplanned C-section operation may occasionally be advised in the event of a medical emergency, such as when your baby's heart rate falls dangerously low. 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 many c-section procedures depending on the incision site and surgical approach, among other variables. The most typical kinds are: 1. Low Transverse C-Section: The most typical form of cesarean section is the low transverse one. Above the pubic hairline, a horizontal incision is created. It is chosen because it reduces bleeding and speeds up healing. 2. Low Vertical C-Section: In this type, the incision is made vertically, which provides better access in some complex cases. However, it may take longer to heal and can be associated with more post-operative pain. 3. The traditional C-section: It is done when immediate access to the infant is required. It entails making a vertical incision across the upper part of the uterus. Due to the higher risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies, it is rarely done. 4. T-shaped or J-shaped Incision: Sometimes, specialized incisions are used to protect specific areas of the uterus or to accommodate surgical instruments better.

Preparation for Caesarean Delivery

Before a C-section, your doctor may advise you to do specific blood tests to check the number of red blood cells and assess the risk of anaesthesia complications. Even if your doctor has recommended a vaginal delivery, it is advisable that you talk to them once before the delivery, discussing the likelihood of a C-section.

Steps Involved in Caesarean Delivery

A C-section can be done in various ways. 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 caesarean section surgery to avoid infection. - Having your abdomen cleansed at the hospital. Before conducting a cesarean section, your gynecologist may get you ready for anesthesia, wash your belly with an antiseptic, cover the incision site with a sterile drape, and raise a sterile curtain between your head and lower body. The surgeon will next make an incision in your skin that goes into your abdomen. Although both cesarean sections use the same method, scheduled ones take longer. You could hold your newborn soon after birth.

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

C-section deliveries are generally successful. nowadays, every third child born in India is through a C-section delivery.
