A cesarean section is the delivery of a baby through a cut (incision) in the mother's belly and uterus. It is often called a C-section. In most cases, a woman can be awake during the birth and be with her newborn soon afterward. See a picture of a delivery by C-section. If you are pregnant, chances are good that you will be able to deliver your baby through the birth canal (vaginal birth). But there are cases when a C-section is needed for the safety of the mother or baby. So even if you plan on a vaginal birth, it's a good idea to learn about C-section, in case the unexpected happens.
Some women may benefit from undergoing a C-section one week earlier: âWe usually hear that itâs best to perform a C-section as close to the due date as possible, and that makes good sense. But in some cases, the mother goes into labour before the operation starts, and that can lead to complications,â says Glavind.
