How can you prepare for the Cesarean delivery
procedure beforehand?
You are required to do a little bit of
preparation before going to the hospital for the
Cesarean delivery. You also need to do this
preparation in case of normal delivery. Though in
case of a C-section, you might have to stay in
the hospital for 3-5 days. Therefore, you should
prepare for it keeping this fact in mind.

• Preparation before Cesarean section
• Clothes
• You might have to stay in the hospital for 3-5
  days after having the operation, so you should
  keep clothes accordingly. Keep baggy and
  comfortable clothing for yourself and also bring
  clothes that cover the babys body completely.
  You should also keep warm clothes for yourself
  and the baby to avoid any inconvenience later.
• Maternity Pad
• After the birth of the baby, you can have
  excessive bleeding, so you should keep maternity
  pads.

• Products for breastfeeding
• You might also need to pump your breasts after
  the operation, so you should keep a manual breast
  pump.
• Medical Papers
• The pregnant woman should also keep her insurance
  papers along with her medical papers.
• Diapers
• Diapers are also needed after the birth of the
  baby, so you should keep those with you as well.

What happens during the Cesarean delivery
operation?
We have divided the process of C-section birth
into three phases. The preparation for the birth
of the baby before C-section, preparation for the
operation and the process after that are included
in this.

• Before the Cesarean procedure
• First, the doctor will explain the procedure of
  the operation to the lady and her family.
• Almost 8 hours before the operation you will be
  asked to not eat or drink anything.
• Before the surgery, the woman is given a few
  tests (such as anemia test)
• After that, immediately before the operation,
  the pregnant woman is given anesthesia in her
  spine.

• During the Cesarean procedure
• When the lower part of the body is completely
  numb then the doctors put a horizontal incision
  immediately above the pubic hairline. In case of
  an emergency, this cut is also made vertically.
• Once the cut is made on your abdomen, your
  uterus becomes visible and then the doctor makes
  a cut in the uterus. This entire portion of your
  body is covered during the process so that you
  dont get to see the process.
• After this, your baby is taken out. Then the
  doctor cleans the nose and mouth of the baby,
  before proceeding to cut off the umbilical cord
  and removing it. After this, your baby will be
  handed over to the hospital staff who will make
  sure that your baby is breathing properly and is
  healthy.

• Then the doctor will separate your placenta from
  your uterus. They will sew your uterus with water
  dissolving stitches and close the incision on
  your abdomen with stitches. During this time,
  after the checkup, the baby will be given to you
  for breastfeeding and skin-to-skin touch.
• After the Cesarean Operation
• After the Cesarean operation, you and your
  newborn baby may have to stay in the hospital for
  almost 3 or more days.
• Immediately following the surgery, you would be
  given an IV (a therapy through which fluid is
  directly delivered to veins). This will help in
  reducing your pain.
• After the effect of anesthesia wears off, you
  would be instructed by the doctor to drink
  liquids.
• Following this, the doctor will encourage you to
  stand up and walk around. This will help in
  preventing clotting and constipation.
• Before leaving for home, the doctor will advise
  you to take proper care of yourself and also
  explain a few precautions to you.

How long does it take to recover from the
Cesarean delivery operation?

• The new mom can experience pain, spasms and
  bleeding due to the cut up to 4-6 weeks after the
  operation. The severity of these symptoms differs
  from woman to woman, but mostly they recover with
  time. You can recover by adopting certain
  measures and taking proper care of yourself.
• Precautions after C-section delivery
• Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of
  water
• Take any medicine as directed
• Take rest when needed
• Using a pregnancy pillow or belt provide
  assistance to the area around the incision and
  your abdomen

  think about the baby
• Eat fresh home-cooked food and eat a more
  fiber-rich diet
• Eat such food items which can help you produce
  milk
