Caesarean delivery

A Caesarean delivery, or C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in a mother's abdomen and uterus. It is typically planned in advance or performed when there are concerns about the baby's or mother's health during labor. The procedure involves numbing the area with anesthesia, making the incisions, and carefully removing the baby. It is a common and generally safe method of childbirth, especially when a vaginal delivery isn't possible or safe. Recovery usually involves some days of rest and medical follow-up to ensure healing.
