Cesarean Section (C-Section)

A Cesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It may be planned in advance due to health concerns or complications, or it can be performed in emergencies when vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby. C-sections can help prevent complications but come with risks, such as infection and longer recovery times. After the procedure, mothers typically need some time to heal, and they may require additional support during their recovery compared to those who give birth vaginally.
