A cesarean (C-section) delivers your baby through a carefully planned incision in the abdomen and uterus. Dr. Mustafa Aldam guides you through a safe, consent-led delivery, whether planned or in an emergency.
A cesarean section is a surgical procedure in which a baby is delivered through an incision in the mother's abdominal wall and the wall of the uterus. It is usually performed under spinal or epidural anaesthesia and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. It may be planned in advance or carried out as an emergency.
A C-section may be recommended for a previous cesarean delivery, a multiple pregnancy, a breech or transverse baby that cannot be turned, placenta previa blocking the cervix, or other complications that make vaginal delivery unsafe. It may also be chosen electively after discussion.
Dr. Aldam reviews your pregnancy, medical history and the baby's position and health to decide whether a planned or emergency cesarean is right for you. Your preferences matter — a cesarean is only performed with your written consent after a full discussion of the reasons and options.
The baby is delivered under spinal or epidural anaesthesia through a low horizontal incision (the 'bikini line', which heals faster with less visible scarring) or, in specific emergencies, a vertical incision. After delivery the layers are closed carefully. A hospital stay of about 2 to 5 days is usual, with rest, gentle walking, good hydration and wound care during recovery.
