In most cases, a C-section operation is safer than a vaginal birth for both the mother and the baby. Sometimes, an unplanned c-section may be considered an emergency, e.g. when your baby's heart rate drops to an unsafe level. Unlike any other surgery, even C-section delivery involves certain risks. These include the following: - Blood loss - Infection - Embolism, i.e. breakage of a blood clot and its entry into the bloodstream - Bladder injury - Bowel injury - Fetal injury - Weakness of the uterine wall due to a cut - Placental abnormalities in future pregnancies - Risks associated with general anesthesia

There are 3 types of Cesarean section incisions: Low transverse: This is also called a bikini incision because a low horizontal cut is made across the bikini line. Low vertical: This is similar to the transverse section, but a vertical cut is made across the lower abdomen instead of making a horizontal cut. High vertical: The shape of this incision is similar to a low vertical incision. However, the cut is made high up on the abdomen and across the stomach.
You may need certain medical tests before the surgery, especially blood tests. This helps the doctor analyze the complication risks associated with anesthesia or the entire surgical procedure. Note that you may have the chance to choose your preferred delivery option. So, even if your gynecologist has recommended a vaginal birth, you can discuss the possibility of a C-section well before your due date.
There are several steps involved with c-section surgery. The most generic ones are: Showering at home with an antiseptic soap the night before and the morning of your C-section; Not shaving your pubic hair within 24 hours of your C-section to avoid infection; Having your abdomen cleansed at the hospital The first step in cesarean section surgery is to prepare you for anesthesia. This is followed by cleaning your abdomen with an antiseptic and placing a sterile drape around the incision site. A sterile curtain will be raised between your head and your lower body. Your obstetrician will then make an incision through your skin and into your abdomen. Emergency cesarean follow the same steps as planned C-sections but take less time. Unless there are any complications with the procedure or with your baby’s health, you can see and hold your baby right after gaining consciousness.
The time to recover from a C-section is more than a vaginal delivery. After the anesthesia wears off, you will begin to feel the pain from the incisions and gastrointestinal issues. You may have trouble taking deep breaths, turning your body, and applying pressure to the pedals with ease. This is why most women stay at the hospital for a minimum of 2-3 days after the delivery. You may also need help getting up from bed several days after the delivery. Complete recovery may take between 4 to 6 weeks.
C-section deliveries are usually successful. Now, in India, every third child is born through a C-section delivery.

If you want to opt for a C-section for non-medical reasons or due to fear of birth and labor, you can discuss your doubts and concerns with your doctor well before the delivery.
