A Caesarean section, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby when a vaginal birth is not possible or safe. It involves making an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus to extract the baby. This procedure is typically performed when the baby is in a breech position, the mother has a medical condition that puts her or the baby at risk during labor, or when labor is not progressing. While a a major surgery, advancements in medical technology and anesthesia have made it a relatively safe procedure for both mother and baby, and is important to note that a Caesarean section is not a failure of labor or a sign of weakness, but rather a necessary intervention in certain situations to ensure the health and safety of the mother and baby.
