Cesarean Delivery (C-Section)
At Radha Hospital & Fertility Center, we are committed to ensuring a safe and comfortable birthing experience for every mother. Our expert obstetricians and dedicated team provide advanced care for mothers who require a Cesarean delivery (C-section), ensuring the health and safety of both mother and baby.
What is Cesarean Delivery?
A Cesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It is usually planned when normal (vaginal) delivery is not possible or may pose risks, but it may also be performed in emergency situations to protect the well-being of mother and child.
When is a Cesarean Delivery Needed?
Your doctor may recommend a C-section for several reasons:
Prolonged or difficult labor
Baby in breech or abnormal position
Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets)
Placenta complications (placenta previa, placental abruption)
Umbilical cord issues or fetal distress
Previous C-section delivery
Mother’s health conditions (high BP, diabetes, infections)
Benefits of Cesarean Delivery
Ensures safety in high-risk pregnancies
Life-saving in emergency situations
Reduces complications for babies in abnormal positions
Planned procedure provides clarity and preparation time for mothers
Risks and Considerations
While C-sections are common and safe, like any surgery, they carry some risks:
More blood loss compared to vaginal delivery
Risk of infection at the incision site
Blood clots in rare cases
Longer recovery period
Breathing difficulties in newborn (sometimes)
Our team at Radha Hospital & Fertility Center takes every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery for mothers.
Preparing for a Cesarean Delivery
To make your C-section experience smooth and safe:
Follow your doctor’s pre-surgery instructions carefully
Avoid eating or drinking a few hours before surgery
Discuss anesthesia options with your anesthesiologist
Pack essentials like baby clothes, mother’s wear, and necessary documents
The Cesarean Delivery Procedure
Here’s what to expect during a C-section at our hospital:
You will receive anesthesia (spinal or epidural) so you don’t feel pain.
The doctor makes a small incision in the lower abdomen.
The baby is safely delivered through the incision.
The umbilical cord is cut and the placenta is removed.
The incision is carefully closed with stitches.
The entire procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes, and our team ensures constant monitoring of both mother and baby.
Recovery and Post-Care
After a C-section, mothers usually stay in the hospital for 2–4 days. Recovery time varies, but with proper care, most mothers return to normal activities within 4–6 weeks.
Post-surgery care at Radha Hospital includes:
Pain management support
Regular monitoring of incision site
Guidance on breastfeeding positions after surgery
Gentle physiotherapy and walking advice to improve recovery
24/7 nursing support for both mother and baby
