Many women will go through a caesarian delivery, whether it is planned, or has to be done as a result of some unforeseen circumstance that happens at the delivery time.
Caesarian delivery, or the surgical removal of the baby through an incision in the abdomen and through the uterus of the mother, is done when vaginal delivery is not an option.
There are risks with either delivery, both to the baby and the mother and your physician will discuss with you what the best and safest possible method is for you and your situation.
Your situation could change once you are in the hospital, but your physician will speak to you about how things might go when you get to the delivery.
Many physicians will opt for a planned caesarian delivery rather than a vaginal birth, for many reasons.
Some of them include having had a caesarian section for a previous birth, increasing the risk if you were to attempt a vaginal birth.
If you are having an unusually large baby, your physician may opt for a caesarian section due to the risk of injury and tear to your body if you were to deliver naturally.
Complications such as placenta previa can also be an issue that will prompt your physician to suggest a planned caesarian birth rather than a vaginal delivery.
Sometimes caesarians are not actually planned.
They will happen at the hospital when you have gone in for a vaginal delivery.
There may be some complications that happen as you are trying to deliver.
Perhaps your baby is breech (turned so that his buttocks are facing the vaginal opening, rather than the head) or transverse (situated sideways to the birth canal) and cannot be delivered due to these positions.
You may be directed to a caesarian birth if you or your baby are having health trauma during the delivery, and your physician decides that it would be in your and your baby's best interests not to wait for a normal vaginal birth, and deliver your baby via caesarian as fast as possible.
There are many reasons that a caesarian section may be suggested to you, whether planned well before birth or as you are in the hospital delivering.
Your physician will know the best possible outcome for your and your baby's health, and will discuss the risks and benefits that can be possible from this option.
It is not an uncommon procedure in delivering a baby.
