Journal #9 Research about the use of caesarean section during delivery
A caesarean section is an operation in which an obstetrician makes a cut through your belly and uterus (womb) so that your baby can be born. It's the most common major surgery that women have. Its another method other then natural birth to delivery a baby. The reasons for doing the procedure vary, because every pregnancy and birth is different. But some reasons are:
Your baby is in a bottom-down position, or hasn't been successful.
You are expecting twins or more, and the first baby isn't in a head-down position.
Your baby is in a sideways (transverse) position, or keeps changing his position.
You have eclampsia, and having your baby by vagina will take too long to be safe.
You have a low lying placenta
You have a medical condition, such as a certain type of heart disease.
You've asked to have a caesarean, perhaps because of a previous failure of natural.
You caught for the first time in your third trimester.
You have HIV and are either not receiving retroviral therapy, have a high viral load, or also have HEPATITIS C. A vaginal birth is an option if your HIV is under control.
There are many reasons for having a "C" section as you can see and there are probably many more. Sometimes its an emergency procedure.
