A cesarean section, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. It is typically performed when vaginal delivery is not possible or safe. However, there are a number of things that can be done to increase the chances of having a vaginal delivery and avoiding a cesarean section.
Cesarean sections are major surgery, and they can have a number of risks and complications, including infection, blood clots, and damage to the uterus. They can also be more expensive and time-consuming than vaginal deliveries. In addition, cesarean sections can increase the risk of future cesarean sections.
