C-sections should only be recommended as an absolute necessity, yet their number has steadily increased despite these policies and it varies based on socioeconomic characteristics.
Dr Bhumika Shukla is an esteemed Gynecologist in Delhi with over ten years of experience, who established Niraamaya Clinic to give her patients direct service with more personal touches that hospitals cannot.
The Procedure
C-section is an effective and safe way to give birth. It is especially recommended for women with health conditions that make vaginal birth difficult, pelvic injuries or infections like HIV/Herpes which would make laboring vaginally too much of a challenge.
C-section birth is generally faster than vaginal delivery due to less stretching on pelvic muscles. Recovery for your uterus muscles may take more time; you should plan to spend two to four days recovering after your C-section procedure.
After your discharge, it is normal to experience prolonged bleeding for several weeks post-C-section. This indicates that your body is flushing out extra blood from the procedure, while you may also feel some pain at the site where you had the C-section – should this persist, please notify your healthcare provider immediately.

Preparation
Once a woman decides on caesarean delivery in Delhi, her healthcare team will discuss possible anaesthesia options with her based on her medical conditions and preferences. These could range from general anaesthesia to regional forms like spinal or epidural anaesthesia depending on which would work best.
Doctors will go over all risks and benefits associated with her procedure with her. They’ll instruct her to shower with antiseptic soap the night before and morning of surgery, not shaving her pubic hair as this increases infection risks at surgical sites, wearing an antiseptic gown to wear during operation, and not placing tight undergarment over this as this could restrict blood circulation.
During a c-section procedure, a doctor will cut open and cut back the uterus to reveal the baby, clamp and cut its umbilical cord before extracting its placenta before closing incision in abdomen with dissolvable stitches to repair uterus and close incision.
C-sections may become necessary in cases of complications during labor that put the mother’s health in jeopardy or when carrying multiples with one in an improper position that poses danger to both mother and child. They are also necessary when pregnant women carry twins for whom one of the pregnancies poses risk to either one of them.
Sustained increases in cesarean section rates are an emerging public health threat. Our aim is to maximize use of this procedure so as to enhance women’s and infants’ health and wellbeing, through three components of a formative protocol: document review; readiness assessment; and primary qualitative research with women, healthcare providers and administrators.

Post-Operative Care
Cesarean deliveries can be life-altering experiences and recovering can take time. There are a few steps you can take to accelerate this process though. First and foremost, rest and sleep is crucial; take it easy on yourself by avoiding strenuous activities, focusing on relaxing more often, drinking plenty of water and eating nutritious food (avoid heavy or spicy meals that cause stomachache or gas), drinking a lot of fluids like water as this will also aid your recovery; additionally avoid foods high in saturated fats which increase weight gain as these increase complications during post-partum period post delivery.
