Benefits of Caesarean Delivery

- Avoid long painful labour – Mother can also choose caesarean section if she has a history of complicated vaginal delivery or she want to avoid pain that is related with normal delivery.
- Can be life saving in emergency – In rare cases, caesarean section can be required on emergency basis because the condition of baby or mother or both are in life threatening situation. It could occur due to previous medical history of mother or labour is happening at slow pace or baby is not getting sufficient air during vaginal delivery.
- To avoid passing of infections – When mother has infections (like AIDS, Genital Herpes etc.) that she could pass on to the new born, then also Caesarean section is considered to be best for the well-being of the baby.
- Only alternative in some special situations – Caesarean section is also required when baby size is very big as compared to the mother’s pelvis or baby is not in head down (normal) position i.e. the baby is in breech position not in cephalic. Similarly, if twin babies or multiples are expected then it is best to choose Caesarean section as pain during normal delivery can lead to complications, such as fatigue that could bring threat to other baby or babies’ life.
Risks of Cesarean Delivery:
- Long hospital stay – Mother that has opted for caesarean section has to stay in her preferred mother and child care hospital for days or weeks in most cases.

- Risk of blood loss – During surgery, there is major chance of heavy blood loss.
- Damage to bowel or bladder – While making incision, it can damage the bladder or bowel depending on the mother’s situation.
- Less chances of early breast-feeding – Normally, mothers who have chosen caesarean section don’t get the chance to breastfeed their baby earlier as compared with vaginal delivery.
- C-section for subsequent deliveries – One of the most important facts that people should know before choosing caesarean section is that if it is done for first-time birth then most probably it is required in future pregnancies.
There is no denying that caesarean section is considered safe and most of time lifesaving option; there are many risks present in caesarean section as compared with vaginal birth.
