There are some cases in which delivery must take place immediately because of the presence of a threatening condition for the maternal or fetal health issue. Cesarean section (C Section) is the birth of a baby through a surgical incision in the abdomen. Caesarean may be scheduled in advance, or it can happen after the labor begins. If an emergency C-section takes longer than 5 to 30 minutes to perform (depending on the circumstances) or if doctors prolong labor for longer that is reasonable. It increases the risk of birth injury immediate C-section delivery is often necessary.
Cesarean delivery - Why It’s Done?
There are standards laid out for when this happens, and doctors must follow these standards:
● Failure to Progress in Labor- is one of the most important reasons for a c-section delivery. Even the contractions last for hours the cervix opening is not enough to deliver a baby
● Fetal Distress- if your fetal heartbeats are changing then c section might be the best option
● Cord Prolapses- when the umbilical cord slips through your cervix ahead of your baby. Then c-section is recommended
● Previous Caesarean Delivery- cesarean is recommended you depending upon the condition of the type of uterine incision
● Health Condition- cesarean is recommended when you have severe health issues or infections.
● Placental Abruption- It occurs when the placenta separates from the uterus inner lining partial or complete in that case c-section recommended
● Uterine Rupture- C- section might be recommended when the wall of the uterus breaks during pregnancy or childbirth.
Benefits of having C-Section:
