Indications for C-section

A cesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus. Indications for a C-section include situations like fetal distress, where the baby's health is at risk; labor complications, such as prolonged labor or failure to progress; multiple pregnancies (twins or more); abnormal positioning of the baby (e.g., breech); and maternal health concerns, such as high blood pressure or severe infection. The decision for a C-section prioritizes the safety of both the mother and the baby.
