Vaginal delivery vs. cesarean section

Vaginal delivery is the natural process where a baby is born through the birth canal, often requiring less recovery time and lower risk of certain complications. Cesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure where the baby is delivered through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus, which may be necessary for medical reasons such as complications or fetal distress. While C-sections can be scheduled or emergency procedures, vaginal delivery generally involves less immediate medical intervention. Both methods are safe options, with the choice depending on medical considerations and circumstances surrounding the pregnancy.
