Caesarean Delivery

A C-section meaning involves making an abdomen incision and uterus to deliver the baby. Your gynecologist could advise a C-section delivery if giving birth naturally through the vagina is risky, impractical, or if your health is in danger.

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.

Who is at Risk?

    C-section delivery, like any surgical procedure, carries both potential complications and benefits. Complications: 1. Infection: Infection at the incision site, in the uterus, or in the pelvic cavity is a possibility. 2. Hemorrhage: Excessive bleeding may occur during or during surgery. 3. Adverse Anesthesia responses: Some women may have negative anesthesia responses. 4. Blood Clots: Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are both risks of blood clot formation in the legs. 5. Longer Recovery: Compared to vaginal delivery, the recovery time following a c-section is often longer. Benefits: 1. Life-Saving Procedure: In some cases, a c-section is the safest way to deliver the baby, preventing potential complications. 2. Controlled Environment: The controlled surgical environment allows healthcare providers to closely monitor and manage any complications during childbirth. 3. Scheduled Birth: In planned c-sections, the date and time of the birth can be scheduled, making it convenient for both the parents and medical team. 4. Lessened Risk of Birth Trauma: A c-section can lessen the risk of birth trauma in situations when a vaginal delivery could harm the infant. 5. Reproductive Health: C-sections, particularly when problems emerge following a vaginal birth, can protect a woman's reproductive health.

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

    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

    Discussed below are the steps involved in cesarean delivery: - In a planned C-section surgery, an epidural is usually used. Sometimes, general anaesthesia is given, but this is mostly in emergencies. - Cleaning of the abdomen's surgical area with an antiseptic - Placing sterile drapes around the incision site and lower body. - Place a sterile cloth or drape between the head and lower body. - The doctor will then make an incision on the abdomen, vertical or horizontal. - The surgeon will make an incision into the uterus wall, again horizontal or vertical. - Then, the doctor will remove the baby through the incisions. - The umbilical cord is incised, and the placenta is taken out. - The incisions are stitched up and closed. Skilled doctors in Thrissur carry out all the steps involved with utmost care and attention.

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.
