Of course, many women give birth to twins and triplets themselves, but in recent years there have been fewer of them. Secondly, a situation has become frequent when there is a risk of difficulty in natural birth associated with a large fetus and a narrow pelvis of a woman in labor. Thirdly, often a cesarean section is prescribed if the state of health of the pregnant woman is such that childbirth poses a serious danger to her. Indications for surgery can be diseases of the kidneys, eyes, cardiovascular system, as well as gestosis. And in what cases do they have a cesarean section? In fact, the list is extensive: placenta previa or its detachment, various acute conditions of the mother or fetus, in which the passage of the child through the natural birth canal is impossible, and much more.
And in what cases do cesarean section emergency? In any cases, when childbirth is delayed, if the outflow of water took place more than 12 hours ago, with weak labor. In recent years, women have even begun to look for indications for surgery, since not everyone wants to experience contractions for a long time, and then also attempts. But few people think about how dangerous a cesarean section is, but this is a full-fledged abdominal operation. That is, it is necessary to survive not only the operation itself, but also the postoperative period with all the ensuing consequences. The adhesion process may begin , or it may happen that the next pregnancy simply ends with a rupture of the uterus, because in the lower segment there will now be a scar. So you need to seriously consider before you choose a cesarean section instead of a natural birth.
The progress of the operation. First, the anesthetist gives anesthesia. Recently, spinal anesthesia is most often used , while the woman is conscious, but does not feel any pain. Then the surgeons make a small horizontal incision in the lower abdomen above the frontal bone and remove the baby from the uterine cavity by the head. After that, the contents of the uterus are cleaned and suturing occurs. Very rarely, an incision is made vertically from the navel to the pubic bone. In recent years, self-absorbable sutures have been used in surgical practice, so there is no need to remove the stitches.
Rehabilitation takes place rather quickly, especially when sharing a child. In the first 2 weeks after surgery, such actions involving the abdominal
press, like sitting, sneezing, coughing, laughing, changing position. At this time, it is necessary to carefully monitor the work of the intestines. Any, even the most minor problems with the gastrointestinal tract, can signal the onset of adhesions in the small pelvis. A month after the operation, you can return to full life.

If doctors insist on surgery, you should not be afraid of it. Thousands and thousands of women safely bring up children - "Caesar."
