ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CESAREAN SECTION (C -
SECTION BIRTH)
The cesarean section also known as the C section
in medical terms is a surgical practice first
performed in the United States in 1794 by Dr.
Jesse Bennett on his wife Elizabeth in which both
her wife and the baby were alive. This is a
surgical procedure in which one or more babies
are delivered through an incision in the Mother's
abdomen rather than the vagina. Doctors perform
this operation when there are certain
complications in vaginal delivery such as high
blood pressure, twins' babies obstructed labor,
etc. The worldwide cesarean section rate has
raised from around 7 in 1990 to 21 today. It is
the most common surgery performed in the United
States. According to current medical evidence, a
mother can go for a maximum of three planned
cesareans for delivering his newborns.
Procedure- 
In this surgical procedure, the patient is given
general anesthesia and the urine is drained using
a urine catheter and the abdomen is cleaned by an
antiseptic. The incision is done in the lower
abdomen of the mother which is about 6 inches in
length. Before reaching the uterus surgeon have
to cut five different layers of skin and then the
uterus. The baby is then taken out from the womb
of the mother by the surgeon. The incision is
then stitched and close. The mother can then
breastfeed the baby as soon as she is out of the
operation room and awake.

Recovery-
A mother under caesarian section experiences
cramps,  nausea, vomiting after the operation.
Mother may have reduced bowel movements for hours
to days. This thing is usually resolved without
any medication. Immediately after cesarean
section some complementary therapies such as
electromagnetic therapy or musical therapy
relieve the pain of the mother. Back pain or
abdomen pain maybe continue after this major
surgery. This may be reduced by taking
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which are
given by the consultant squats in the hospitals.
