Cesarean Section

A Cesarean section is surgical procedure to bring a baby. The baby is taken out during the mother's abdomen. In the United States, concerning one in four women have their babies this way. Most C-sections are done when unforeseen problems happen during delivery. These include

* Health harms in the mother

* The point of the baby

* Not sufficient room for the baby to go through the vagina

* Signs of pain in the baby

C-sections are also more ordinary among women carrying more than one baby.

The surgery is fairly safe for mother and baby. Still, it is major surgery and carries risks. It also takes longer to get well from a C-section than from vaginal birth. After healing, the opening may leave a weak spot in the wall of the uterus. This could cause evils with an attempted vaginal birth later. However, more than half of women who have a C-section can give vaginal birth later on.
