A C-section delivery is a dangerous way to have a baby because of the risks and uncertainties involved. The intended and natural way to deliver the baby does not always work for every woman. As the name suggests, it was first performed on Julius Caesar’s mother who seemed to be facing complications when giving birth to Caesar. From then on, this procedure has become a worldwide alternative for any woman who is not up to the natural ‘push’ method.

However, not all doctors and midwives are skilled when it comes to protecting the abdominal region after a C-section delivery. It requires highly skilled expertise and equipment for the whole procedure to come out successfully. This is something that most health centers are deficient in. This is the part where governments and organizations come in and make the situation better.

Normally, the abdominal region is greatly affected and ruptured after a delivery of this magnitude. First and foremost, the level of expertise of the doctors involved is of utmost importance. Entrusting two or more lives to a team of incompetent ‘doctors’ is something unforgivable. Come to think of it, what use is it if the health center is well equipped with all the necessary equipment but know how seems to be lacking.

The new mother is advised to take it easy after her horrific episode at the hospital. Since there are fresh and delicate stitches involved, she is not to undertake any strenuous exercises after delivery. This is because her health is at risk and in worst cases, she might even be rendered incapacitated.

Moreover, her partner is supposed to be by her side and offer her support in all aspects including emotionally, physically, mentally and even financially. This is because she will need frequent checkups on how her abdomen is doing. The new mother is not to gamble with the medical advice that she is given, lest it goes back to her and makes her situation even worse.

The cesarean section is mostly feared because of the unknown complications that the mother and baby are likely to face. It is also not a guarantee that they will both survive the nerve-jarring ordeal. On the bright side, at least the mother and baby are well-protected. Once the best medicines and equipment are administered, the abdominal region is sure to heal much faster than expected. For example, all that the new mother is required to do after birth is breastfeed her baby, and the doctors will also advise her on the best ways to personally look after herself until the healing period is over.
