Your uterus has grown bigger in the past few weeks as the baby has grown inside of it. Now the uterus is probably up under your ribs.
Most women plan on a normal vaginal birth, but a Cesarean delivery is always a possibility.
With a Cesarean, the baby is delivered through an incision made in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus. The illustration on page 301 shows a Cesarean delivery. Common names for this type of surgery are C-section, Cesarean section and Cesarean delivery. C-sections are done for many reasons. The most common reason for having a C-section is a previous Cesarean delivery.
