While the majority of deliveries are vaginal, If there are complications in normal childbirth, the doctor may suggest a C-section procedure. Whether you\u2019re meticulously planning or simply want to stay informed, understanding the C-section process can help you prepare for a less stressful childbirth experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><strong id=\"What-is-a-C-section-delivery?\">C-section delivery<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72103 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cesarean-section.jpg\" alt=\"cesarean section_Activ Living Community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C-section or a cesarean section is a way of childbirth through surgery. If a healthcare professional deems an expected delivery risky, they perform a c-section procedure by opening up the abdomen and uterus of the mother. Over 19% of total births globally, which accounts for around 20 million, are c-section deliveries. In India, c-section deliveries have increased from 17% during 2015-16 to 21.5% between 2019-21, a staggering rise from 1992-93 when the number of c-section deliveries was merely 3%. Even if you have planned for a standard delivery, things can change at the last minute. So, it\u2019s better to learn about c-section deliveries if you are awaiting childbirth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When is a C-Section necessary?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can choose to have a c-section delivery (known as planned c-section), or the doctor might decide to perform the procedure if they feel that normal childbirth can be risky for the child, mother or both (known as emergency c-sections). C-section delivery is performed in the following instances:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already had a c-section and cannot deliver the baby vaginally<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent infectious diseases through vaginal delivery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have chronic illnesses like hypertension or diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor positioning and larger size of the baby<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problem with labor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several other reasons why a C-section procedure might be safer. Your doctor can explain when and if it might be your best option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><strong id=\"The-C-section-procedure:-What-to-expect\">The C-section procedure<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The c-section procedure is standard but a major surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pre-operative preparations<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The night before the surgery, take a bath and wipe your body, except the genital area, with a chlorhexidine gluconate cloth. Drink adequate fluids and eat a nutritious meal. You cannot eat for 8 hours before the surgery. On the morning of the surgery, take another shower as before. Avoid shaving and cosmetic products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The surgical process<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72101 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/C-surgery.jpg\" alt=\"C surgery_Activ Living Community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the surgery, an IV line will be attached to your arm. A urinary catheter may or may not be put in. You will be strapped for safety, and the surgery site will be shaved and sterilized. You will be covered with a sterilized cloth before administering anesthesia. Your vitals will be monitored throughout the procedure. The abdomen is cut open with an incision, after which the uterus is opened, and the baby is delivered by opening the amniotic sac. The umbilical cord is cut, and the uterine muscle and abdomen are stitched after examination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Post-operative recovery<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-surgery, both the mother and child are closely monitored. Mothers may sometimes need oxygen through a tube. Sanitary pads are recommended at home for bleeding, and medicines are prescribed for infections and cramps. Your activities will be limited to prevent any bodily stress while you recover. The first 2-3 weeks post c-section delivery is crucial for the mother\u2019s recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><strong id=\"Potential-risks-associated-with-C-sections\">Potential risks associated\u00a0<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C-section deliveries are pretty standard and deemed a safe surgical procedure. However, like with any other surgery, there are certain complications associated with c-section deliveries as well.
