A cesarean section, commonly referred to as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This procedure is typically performed when a vaginal delivery is not possible or poses a risk to the mother or baby. During a C-section, the mother is given anesthesia to numb the lower half of her body. The surgeon then makes an incision in the abdomen and uterus and carefully removes the baby. The umbilical cord is cut, and the baby is taken to a warmer to be evaluated by a pediatrician. The surgeon then closes the incision with sutures or staples. Recovery time after a C-section can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the mother's overall health. Most women stay in the hospital for two to four days after the procedure and may experience some pain and discomfort during the recovery period. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon, including avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activity for several weeks after surgery.
