Not all babies are born via vaginal delivery; in some cases, there are certain risks that make it necessary for a cesarean delivery to be performed. This is also known as a C-section and entails a doctor making an incision in the abdomen and uterus of the mother to remove the baby. While this is commonly performed throughout the United States, it is not without its risks. In fact, it can be a significantly dangerous procedure—and it is vital that both the patient and the doctor consider such risks before determining that the procedure is needed.
Both before and during the actual labor, doctors and nurses should be careful to monitor the mother to see if a C-section will be necessary. They should also be monitoring the fetus for any signs of distress. Should there be any risk factors identified, then it may be necessary to perform a cesarean delivery.
The following are examples of complications and errors related to C-sections:
