A Cesarean Section, often called a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This method is typically chosen when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby, such as complications during labor or if the baby is in an abnormal position. During a C-section, the mother is usually given anesthesia to ensure she feels no pain. After the baby is delivered, the doctor carefully stitches up the incisions. While recovery may take longer than with a vaginal birth, many mothers and babies do well after this procedure, ensuring a safe delivery.
