Why Caesarian Operation?

Caesarean section, also known as C-section or Caesar, is a surgical procedure in which incisions are made through a mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk.

Conditions that may require a planned c-section include:
  • You've had a previous cesarean with a "classical" vertical uterine incision or more than one previous c-section.
  • You've had some other kind of invasive uterine surgery, such as a myomectomy (the surgical removal of fibroids).
  • You're carrying more than one baby. (Some twins can be delivered vaginally, but all higher-order multiples require a c-section.)
  • Your baby is expected to be very large (a condition known as macrosomia). This is particularly true if you're diabetic or you had a previous baby of the same size or smaller who suffered serious trauma during a vaginal birth.
  • Your baby is in a breech (bottom first) or transverse (sideways) position. (In some cases, such as a twin pregnancy in which the first baby is head down but the second baby is breech, the breech baby may be delivered vaginally.)
  • You have placenta previa (when the placenta is so low in the uterus that it covers the cervix).
The last condition is the reason why I will be delivered via C-Section (see above image). This condition is usually prone to bleeding but thank God, mom did not experience any.

Friends see you in 9 days!!!
