Caesarean Section

Caesarean Section

There may be instances where a normal vaginal delivery is not possible, and for the safety of the mother and child, a caesarean section needs to be performed. The indications of C-Section are many, to name a few–

• Multiple gestations like triplets or twins
• Slow or delayed progress of labour
• Fetus is in transverse or breech position
• Failure of induction
• Medical conditions in the mother like severe pre-eclampsia
• Big baby and inadequate maternal pelvis
• Precious pregnancy – IVF pregnancies/ previous fetal death
• Meconium stained liquor
• Fetal growth restriction, severe oligohydramnios
• Fetal heart decelerations in labour
• Previous caesarean
