C-section is a surgical method of delivery in which doctors make an incision in your abdomen and uterus to facilitate labor, then use forceps to deliver the baby. Once born, doctors clear away fluids from baby’s mouth and nose before clamping and cutting its umbilical cord.
Regional anesthesia allows your body to feel nothing during a scheduled C-section procedure, eliminating all pain.

Medications
No matter if it is planned or emergency surgery during labor, anesthesia will always be administered before having a cesarean delivery. Depending on your health and reason for needing the cesarean, either regional anesthesia — typically administered as spinal or epidural injections that block pain in your lower body — might be chosen or general anesthesia which renders you unconscious for the procedure altogether.
If you are having a planned C-section, your doctor will ask you to sit in a slouched position and lean forward to prepare for an injection near your spine. He/She will inject an anesthetic through a needle into or near your abdomen so you will remain numb from abdominal down. While you can still feel tugging and pulling sensations during labor, there will no longer be pain – you may also receive pain-killing medicine such as morphine before or during your procedure to help ease discomfort afterward.
Emergency cesareans require rapid action from doctors in order to ensure your and baby’s wellbeing. An injection will be given to contract the uterus and minimize bleeding before cutting the umbilical cord and removing the placenta, incisions being closed with sutures that later dissolve, medication prescribed to help reduce infection in wounds as well as possible an IV line being placed into hand or arm so fluids and medications can be provided when necessary.
Preparation
Before your operation, the doctor will instruct you to fast for up to 6 hours, consuming only clear fluids such as water. He or she will monitor your blood pressure, heart rate and temperature throughout and after your procedure.
Your operating theatre experience will involve being attended by an obstetrician, assistant surgeon, anaesthetist, theatre nurses and potentially paediatricians. A support person may join you; however, they will remain hidden behind a curtain so as not to interfere with surgery.
If there are complications that prevent vaginal birth, cesarean sections may either be planned (elective) or unplanned (emergency). Cesarean sections may become necessary when your baby’s head doesn’t fit through your pelvis during labor or when your cervix dilates slowly or does not open at all during this period.
C-sections may also be performed when there are complications during gestation that make vaginal delivery impractical, such as severe coagulopathy (bleeding disorder) or incompatible fetal anomalies that cannot be carried to term. Some hospitals provide enhanced recovery strategies after cesarean sections to assist women manage pain more easily, eat and move around earlier, provide care more readily, and return home sooner – though these programs may not always be available.
Incisions
Over one in three births in the US are delivered via cesarean section (C-section). Your doctor may schedule or perform one due to complications during labor.
Your doctor will make an incision in your abdomen and uterus depending on your health and that of your unborn baby, with up-and-down (vertical) or horizontal incisions typically being recommended as they heal quicker while decreasing future complications and risks during future pregnancies. A classical incision, however, should only ever be used as an emergency measure as its risk increases significantly with subsequent pregnancies.
After making an uterine incision, your doctor will carefully remove your baby from its birth canal. He or she will then cut and clamp its umbilical cord.
Due to anesthesia and surgery, babies born through cesarean section often experience difficulty breathing immediately following birth. A pediatrician or nurse experienced in newborn care will be available immediately to provide assistance and ensure their needs are met.
Once your baby has been safely delivered, an obstetrician will close your abdominal incision using dissolvable stitches or surgical staples and will also remove and placenta. An IV will be inserted, providing fluids via infusion while draining urine via catheterization; additionally an antibiotic will be injected by your doctor in order to avoid infections in later years. Within hours or so of giving birth you’ll be able to hold and nurse your newborn baby!
Delivery
A cesarean section (c-section) is a surgical procedure in which a baby is delivered through an incision in your abdominal wall and the wall of your uterus. A cesarean may be planned or forced due to issues during labor – both have risks that must be considered when planning this major procedure. It’s important to remember that cesarean deliveries pose risks for both mother and child alike.
Before your procedure begins, an epidural or spinal anaesthetic will numb you from chest to feet for maximum comfort. A health care team will make a cut across your belly and open your uterus before extracting an amniotic sac with fluid from the baby’s mouth and nose and cutting its umbilical cord.
Cecarean sections should only be performed if the baby cannot be delivered vaginally due to any number of reasons, such as not being in an optimal position, or the cervix not opening during labor or opening very slowly. C-sections may also be necessary when the fetus’ heartbeat rate fluctuates abnormally quickly or slowly and it needs to be delivered rapidly.
After having undergone cesarean, health care teams will assist you in starting breastfeeding as quickly as possible. Should assistance be required with housework and driving after your operation, make sure to reach out and ask.
