Patient discussion about Caesarean section.

Q. What are the risks of C-section? See that all the pregnant movie stars are having C- sections instead of natural child birth. Maybe I should have one too, instead of giving birth regularly? Are there any risks?

A. Most mothers and babies do well after C-section. But it is important to remember that it is major surgery, so it carries more risk than a normal vaginal delivery. Some possible risks of C-section include:
• Infection of the incision or the uterus.
• Heavy blood loss.
• Blood clots in the mother’s legs.
• Injury to the mother or baby.
• Problems from the anesthesia, such as nausea, vomiting, and severe headache.
• Breathing problems in the baby if it was delivered before its due date.

A. My wife had a c-section done when we had our daughter. I did not get to see the procedure, but I did hear it. It was graphic, but really quick.

Q. When is a C-section needed? My wife is pregnant now and I wanted to know when do women need to have a C- section as opposed to natural birth?
