Cesarean Section

Sometimes it is necessary to deliver the baby surgically through an abdominal incision, because the baby is in distress (weak heartbeat), labor has stopped, or the placenta is too near or covers the opening of the uterus. This is an emergency Cesarean or C-section. Non-emergency C-sections are also called for if you delivered via Cesarean section with a previous pregnancy or we have determined that the baby is “breech,” or positioned so that he or she will be born feet-first or buttocks-first, instead of head-first.
