Patient discussion about cesarean delivery.

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.

Q. How is a C-section done? My wife is expecting twins and her Doctor scheduled a C- section for her. How is it done?

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?

A. sually a C- section is done when there are problems during labor like when the baby is in trouble or the labor is stuck and not progressing over a long period of time.
