01What it is
In a cesarean, the baby is born through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. It may be planned during pregnancy or decided during labor if conditions require it.
02Prior visit and planning
When appropriate, a visit explains the reason for the recommendation, planning, hospital coordination and guidance for recovery.
03Risks and alternatives
Like any surgery, a cesarean carries risks. Risks, alternatives and decisions are reviewed with you individually.
