A C-section, or Cesarean section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus.
A C-section involves making two surgical incisions—one in the mother’s abdomen (skin and muscle layers) and the other in the uterus—to deliver the baby. This method is typically used when complications arise that make vaginal delivery unsafe for the mother or the baby.
C-sections may be planned in advance (elective C-sections) or performed as an emergency procedure if complications arise during labour.
Infection can occur at the incision site or within the uterus, although it is relatively rare. Antibiotics may be given to prevent or treat infections.
C-section increases the risk of developing blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis). Early mobilization and specific exercises can help reduce this risk.
Some bleeding is normal during and after surgery, but excessive bleeding may require additional treatment or a blood transfusion.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
If the baby shows signs of distress, such as an irregular heartbeat or reduced oxygen supply, a C-section may be necessary to ensure a safe delivery.
When the baby is positioned feet-first or buttocks-first instead of head-first, a C-section is often the safest delivery method.
For women carrying twins, triplets, or more, a C-section may be recommended due to the increased risk of complications during a vaginal birth.
Women who have had a previous C-section may require a repeat C-section, especially if the uterine scar from the first surgery poses a risk of rupture during vaginal delivery.
After a C-section, women are encouraged to maintain regular follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and address any concerns. While many women who have had one C-section may still have the option for a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC), this decision depends on individual health and the reason for the previous C-section.
Gradually returning to physical activity is key to recovery, but care should be taken to avoid overexertion. Emotional support is crucial during the postpartum period, as it can be emotionally challenging; seeking help from family, friends, and healthcare professionals can be beneficial. Additionally, it’s important to monitor for complications such as excessive bleeding, severe pain, or signs of infection and to seek medical attention if necessary.
