Cesarean Delivery

Cesarean delivery, commonly known as C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. This method is often employed when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby, such as complications during pregnancy or labor. C-sections may be planned in advance or performed in emergencies. Recovery usually takes longer than with a vaginal birth, and there are risks associated with surgery, but many women successfully deliver healthy babies via this method. It is a safe option that has become increasingly common in modern obstetrics.
