Caesarean Section in Mumbai

When does C-Section come into picture?

Doctors do understand that women may need to undergo C-Section way before they enter into labor. Here, are some hints that might need C-section:

• If your previously adopted delivery method was caesarean, then chances are high that this time too it will need C-Section. Vertical incision on uterus increases chances of caesarean delivery.
• If you have undergone any uterine surgery such as myomectomy (surgical procedure used to remove fibroids)
• If you are carrying more than one baby i.e., if there are chances of twins or triplets
• If the weight of the baby is too much for the mother to handle or if the baby is larger than normal in size
• Sometimes, baby's position at time of delivery may not be head down. It may be in breech (bottom first) or transverse (sideways) position. In such cases, C-section has to be performed.
• In case of twins, the first baby might be in right position i.e., head down, but the second baby might be in breech position.
• If there is any obstruction in uterine canal that might prove hazardous for vaginal delivery
• If you are HIV positive, chances of vaginal delivery are reduced

Regular check-ups during pregnancy are recommended to monitor baby's growth and development to prevent any abnormalities.
