What is C-Section.?

Question:

Serious answers please

Answers:
A C-section delivery is performed when a vaginal birth is not possible or is not safe for the mother or child.

Surgery is usually done while the woman is awake but anesthetized from the chest to the legs by epidural or spinal anesthesia. An incision is made across the abdomen just above the pubic area. The uterus is opened, the amniotic fluid is drained, and the baby is delivered.

The baby's mouth and nose are cleared of fluids, and the umbilical cord is clamped and cut. The baby is handed to the pediatrician or nurse who will make sure that breathing is normal. The mother is awake and she can hear and see her baby.

Due to a variety of medical and social factors, C-sections have become fairly common -- about 26% of all births in the United States in 2002 were C-sections.

If a woman can't have a baby naturally, as women have throughout history, with the normal risks to their health,--then a doctor (hopefully) has to open up the womb and take the baby out.

However, these days since many people want to get rich by suing doctors for any possible reason (right or wrong), in order to protect themselves, Doctors sometimes do C-Sections when they should have waited a little longer for a normal birth.

In Puerto Rico, where I live, this is a huge problem and very unjust to women. In fact, most specialists leave Puerto Rico or stop practicing medicine for fear of getting sued.

The problem with a C-Section is that it is much more dangerous to a woman's health and causes her to spend much more time getting better after the birth.

an operation to deliver the baby through the lower part of the abdomen when delivery through the vagina is not possible for a variety of reasons

A C section is another alternative you might want to choose when delivering your baby.

Unlike natural delivery, you deliver your baby when the doctor cuts across your tummy and takes the baby out from the tummy.

For many reasons, C Section is not prefered because:

- It takes a long time for the scar to heal since you are cutting through 7 layers of skin

- You lose weight slower if you deliver via C Section.

But sometimes people choose that because:
- they want to choose the dates that their babies are born

- they have physical reasons for not being able to deliver naturally

- they have emergency deliveries and the babies seem to be having trouble coming out naturally.
