Cesarean Section
A Cesarean Section is a surgical method of delivering a baby through incisions in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It is recommended when a normal vaginal delivery may pose risks to the mother or baby. C-sections are performed under safe anesthesia, and mothers are closely monitored before, during, and after the procedure.
