Caesarean section

A Caesarean section, 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 performed when vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby, such as complications during labor, health issues, or pregnancy concerns. The procedure often involves anesthesia, so the mother is numb from the waist down. C-sections can be planned ahead or done in an emergency. The baby is removed safely, ensuring a controlled environment for delivery. Recovery usually involves staying in the hospital for a few days and taking time to heal.
