Cesarean Delivery

I know this can feel overwhelming. A caesarean birth, also called a C-section, is a safe surgery to deliver your baby through an incision in the tummy and womb when it is the best option for you or your baby. Some caesareans are planned, others are decided during Labor if circumstances change. Our goal is a calm, respectful experience, with clear explanations at every step.

Key points

  • Common reasons include breech position, placenta problems, certain multiples, slow or stalled Labor, concerns about the baby’s well-being, or previous uterine surgery.
  • Anesthesia is usually spinal or epidural; you are awake and pain-free. General anesthesia is used only when necessary.
  • Antibiotics, a medicine to reduce bleeding, and leg compression or blood-thinning protection are given to lower risks.
  • If you and the baby are well, skin-to-skin, delayed cord clamping, and early breastfeeding can begin in theatre or recovery.
  • Most stitches are dissolvable. Soreness is expected; steady improvement over days and weeks is the usual pattern.

Evaluation and treatment: what to expect

  • Before surgery, we review your history, check blood tests, confirm consent, and explain the plan. You will be told when to stop eating and drinking.
  • In theatre, monitors are placed, anesthesia is given, and your tummy is cleaned. You may feel pressure or tugging, not pain. The baby is usually born within minutes; the whole operation often takes 40 to 60 minutes.
  • After birth, the placenta is delivered, the womb is closed, and the skin is stitched. You move to recovery, where we watch your breathing, pulse, blood pressure, bleeding, and comfort.
  • Pain control uses a mix of medicines so you can move, feed, and bond. Early gentle walking helps prevent clots and supports recovery. Feeding support is offered for breastfeeding, formula feeding, or both.
