Caesarean Section Overview
Most babies are born naturally through the birth canal. However, in some situations, a surgical procedure called a Caesarean Section, or C-section, is performed to safely deliver the baby through a small incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus.
Thakral Hospital in Gurgaon offers expert obstetric care, ensuring safe and compassionate C-section deliveries with the highest standards of medical practice.
Safe delivery is our priority. We ensure comfort and care every step of the way.
What is a Caesarean Section?
A Caesarean Section is a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made on the mother’s abdomen and uterus to safely deliver the baby. This is performed when natural delivery is not safe or possible. The surgery is done under anesthesia to ensure the mother does not feel any pain during the procedure.
Why Might a C-Section Be Needed?
- Baby is too large to pass through the birth canal
- Baby is positioned abnormally (e.g., breech or feet first)
- Mother has health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes
- Previous C-section or uterine surgery
- Abnormal fetal heart rate or distress
- Placenta or umbilical cord complications
- Labor is prolonged and the baby is fatigued
C-sections are performed to protect the health and safety of both mother and baby when natural delivery poses risks.
