Cesarean Delivery – C Section

“When Nature Needs a Helping Hand: C Section Delivery”

Childbirth is fascinating, and somewhere we are all stuck with the idea of perfect delivery. We get this idea from the media of how labour can quickly progress, and you need to PUSH, and voila, you have the baby out in no time. But as the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction, and real-life childbirth may not be that straightforward.

Our bodies are complicated, and no two bodies are the same. At times, life can take unexpected turns and throw us off course from our intended path. There can be some complications with the pregnancy, or a vaginal delivery can actually pose a risk to the mother or the child. In such cases, nature itself needs a helping hand. C-section deliveries have saved the lives of millions of mothers and babies across the globe who otherwise may not have survived a vaginal delivery. 

As we say at Giggles, a Cesarean delivery is not something to be scared or embarrassed about. It is about you as a mother choosing safety for you and your baby.

Cesarean Section Delivery

A Cesarean section or a C-section refers to delivering a baby surgically through an incision made in the abdomen and uterus of the mother rather than vaginally. The incision can be horizontal or vertical and usually depends on the health of the mother and the fetus.

C Section can be performed in an emergency or maybe planned based on the pregnancy and medical condition of the mother and the baby. In any case, C section is performed when vaginal delivery is not considered safe by doctors.

We understand the importance of ensuring a safe delivery for both the mother and the baby. That’s why our team of expert doctors will utilize the latest technology and techniques to carefully monitor your pregnancy and make informed decisions regarding the need for a C-section. In case of an emergency, rest assured that we are fully equipped to perform the necessary surgery.

Recovery after C section
