Caesarean Section
Overview
A Caesarean Section (C-Section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. While many deliveries can be achieved vaginally, a C-section may be recommended if it ensures greater safety for the mother, the baby, or both. Our clinic offers advanced surgical facilities, experienced obstetricians, and compassionate care to make C-section delivery safe and comfortable.
When is a C-Section Needed?
C-sections may be planned (elective) or performed as an emergency if complications arise during labor.
Common reasons for a planned or emergency C-section include:
Baby in breech or transverse position (not head down).
Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.).
Placenta previa (placenta blocking the cervix).
Fetal distress (baby not getting enough oxygen).
Labor not progressing or cervix not dilating.
Large baby (macrosomia).
Previous C-section or uterine surgery.
Maternal health concerns (high blood pressure, heart disease, infections).
How the Procedure is Done
Preparation
You’ll receive anesthesia (usually spinal or epidural).
Your abdomen will be cleaned and sterilized.
Surgery
A horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area.
The uterus is carefully opened, and the baby is gently delivered.
The placenta is removed, and incisions are closed with sutures.
Duration
The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes, with the baby delivered in the first few minutes.
Recovery After C-Section
Hospital stay is usually 2–4 days.
Mild pain, soreness, and tiredness are common for a few days.
Most women can resume normal daily activities in 4–6 weeks.
Gentle walking is encouraged soon after surgery to aid recovery.
Breastfeeding can be started immediately, with assistance from the care team.
Possible Risks & Complications
Like any surgery, a C-section has potential risks, though rare when performed in safe hands:
Infection at the incision site.
Increased blood loss compared to vaginal delivery.
Blood clots.
Delayed return of bowel function.
Slightly longer recovery time than vaginal delivery.
Our team takes every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
