Caesarean Section in Ravet by Dr. Chaitali Adkar
A Caesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions or cuts in the abdomen and uterus. While it’s often planned in advance, it can also be performed as an emergency procedure when natural childbirth poses risks to the baby or mother. Understanding why a C-section may be needed and what the process involves can help alleviate anxiety and prepare expectant mothers for the procedure.
Dr. Chaitali Adkar offers safe Caesarean section deliveries in Ravet. Expert care for mother and child in every step of the process.
Why Might a C-Section Be Needed?
Several reasons can lead to a C-section, including:
Prolonged Labor:
When labor does not progress, and the baby is not moving down the birth canal as expected, a C-section may be recommended.
Fetal Distress:
If the baby shows symptoms of distress, such as irregular heartbeats, an emergency C-section may be the safest option.
Breech Presentation:
If the baby is in a breech position (feet or buttocks first) or transverse position (sideways), a C-section is often the safest delivery method.
Placenta Previa:
This condition occurs when the placenta covers the cervix, blocking the baby's passage and necessitating surgical delivery.
Multiple Births:
In cases of twins or other multiple births, a C-section may be needed depending on the babies' positions and overall health.
What Happens During a C-Section?
A C-section typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, and the mother is usually awake during the procedure, receiving either spinal or epidural anesthesia to numb the lower half of the body. The surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen, followed by one in the uterus, to deliver the baby. After the baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut, and the placenta is removed. The incisions are then closed with stitches.
Recovery After a C-Section
Recovery from a C-section takes longer than recovery from a vaginal birth. Most women spend about three to four days in the hospital, with full recovery taking six to eight weeks. Pain management, avoiding heavy lifting, and proper wound care are essential during the healing process. Gentle movement and a healthy diet also support recovery.
