Cesarean Section Facility

The surgical delivery of a baby by a cut (incision) made in the mother's abdomen and the uterus is known as a cesarean section, C-section, or Cesarean birth. It is used by health care providers when they believe it is safer for the mother, the infant, or both.

The incision in the skin could be:

This incision runs from the navel to the pubic hairline from side to side (horizontal). This incision crosses the pubic hairline. It is most commonly used because it heals well and causes less bleeding.

The sort of incision utilized is determined by the mother's and fetus's health. The uterine incision might either be vertical or horizontal. If you are unable to give birth vaginally, a C-section allows the fetus to be delivered surgically. You might be able to arrange and schedule your Cesarean delivery. Alternatively, you may have it done due to complications during labor.

Cesarean delivery is more likely due to a number of factors. These are some examples:

Fetal heart rate is abnormal. The fetal heart rate during labor is an excellent indicator of the fetus's health. During labor, your provider will monitor the fetal heart rate. The typical heart rate ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute. 

If the fetal heart rate indicates a problem, your practitioner will respond immediately. This could include giving the mother oxygen, boosting fluids, and adjusting her position. If the heart rate does not improve, the doctor may perform a Cesarean section.
