Types of C-section Incisions

    There are 3 types of Cesarean section incisions: Low transverse: A low horizontal cut is made across the bikini line in this procedure, which is also known as a bikini incision. Low vertical: This procedure resembles a transverse section, except a vertical cut is made across the lower abdomen rather than a horizontal one. 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

    Prior to having a C-section delivery, your doctor could suggest that you undergo certain blood tests to examine your red blood cell count and determine your risk of anesthesia-related issues. Speak with your doctor well before your due date about the possibility of a C-section, even if your doctor has suggested a vaginal birth.

Steps Involved in Caesarean Delivery

    A cesarean section surgery can be done in various ways. But 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 C-section to avoid infection; - Having your abdomen cleansed at the hospital. To execute a cesarean section, your gynecologist may first get you ready for anesthesia, clean your belly with an antiseptic, cover the incision site with a sterile drape, and raise a sterile curtain between your head and lower body. After that, the doctor will make an incision through your skin and into your abdomen. A planned cesarean section takes longer than an emergency one, but the process is the same.

Recovery Care

    In comparison to a vaginal delivery, a C-section recovery period is longer. You may start to experience incisional discomfort and gastrointestinal issues when the anesthesia wears off. Taking deep breaths, turning your body, and smoothly putting pressure on the pedals may all be difficult for you. Most women spend two to three days in the hospital following the delivery. You might require assistance getting out of bed for several days afterward. Up to six weeks may be needed for complete recovery.

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