Types of C section

There are two types of caesarean sections:

* Planned (elective) c-sections: These are scheduled in advance when the mother or baby has a
medical condition that makes a vaginal delivery risky. Some doctors suggest a planned c-section for
babies diagnosed with congenital issues to reduce delivery complications. Non-medical reasons
may lead some women to prefer c-section surgery over vaginal birth. This choice has certain
advantages and disadvantages for the mother and the child. It can also have an impact on future
pregnancies.
* Unplanned C-sections: Most C-sections are unplanned since the need for one does not emerge
until considerably closer to or during labour. Moms in these circumstances had planned on having a
vaginal birth. Yet just before the baby is born, the mother and the doctor determine that a C-section
is the best course of action. It might be upsetting and stressful when things change. Still, the
medical team makes every effort to ensure that the birth experience is pleasant and safe for mother
and child.
* Emergency c-sections: The urgency of the procedure distinguishes an emergency caesarean from
an unplanned one. These are done when problems arise during labour, such as when the baby is
distressed, the mother is not progressing as expected or is exhausted because of long labour. Other
issues requiring this procedure are when the mother's health conditions may not support a vaginal
delivery, the umbilical cord is tangled around the foetus, or a womb ruptures. Emergency c-sections
are done as quickly as possible to ensure the safety of the mother and baby. Both c-section involve
incisions in the mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby. The type and location of the
incision can vary depending on the mother's medical history, the size and position of the baby, and
other factors. The mother's experience and the actual process for an emergency C-section will differ
from the processes of a planned or unplanned C-section.
