Caesarean section

**Caesarean section**, dem sanso know as **C-section**, **cesarean**, anaa **caesarean delivery**, be de surgical procedure by wich one anaa more babies be delivered thru an incision insyd de mommie ein abdomen. Dem often dey perform am secof vaginal delivery go put de mommie anaa kiddie at risk (of paralysis anaa even death). Reasons for de operation dey include, buh no be limited to, obstructed labor, twin pregnancy, high blood pressure insyd de mommie, breech birth, shoulder presentation, den problems plus de placenta anaa umbilical cord. A caesarean delivery fi be performed based upon de shape of de mommie ein pelvis anaa history of a previous C-section. A trial of vaginal birth after C-section fi be possible. De World Health Organization dey recommend say caesarean section be performed only wen e be medically necessary.

A C-section typically dey take between 45 minutes to an hour to complete. E fi be done plus a spinal block, wer de woman be awake, anaa under general anesthesia. Dem dey use a urinary catheter to drain de bladder, den de skin of de abdomen be then cleaned plus an antiseptic. An incision of about  be then typically made thru de mommie ein lower abdomen. De uterus be then opened plus a second incision den de baby delivered. De incisions be then stitched closed. A woman fi typically begin dey breastfeed as soon as she be out of de operating room den awake. Often, several days be required insyd de hospital to recover sufficiently to return home.

C-sections dey result in a small overall increase insyd poor outcomes insyd low-risk pregnancies. Dem sanso typically dey take about six weeks to heal from, longer dan vaginal birth. De increased risks dey include breathing problems insyd de baby den amniotic fluid embolism den postpartum bleeding insyd de mommie. Established guidelines dey recommend say make dem no use caesarean sections before 39 weeks of pregnancy widout a medical reason. De method of delivery no dey appear to affect subsequent sexual function.

Insyd 2012, na dem do about 23 million C-sections globally. Na de international healthcare community previously consider de rate of 10% den 15% ideal for caesarean sections. Sam evidence dey find a higher rate of 19% fi result in better outcomes. More dan 45 countries globally get C-section rates less dan 7.5%, while more dan 50 get rates greater dan 27%. Dem dey make efforts to both improve access to den reduce de use of C-section. Insyd de United States as of 2017, about 32% of deliveries be by C-section.

Na dem perform de surgery at least as far back as 715 BC dey follow de death of de mommie, plus de baby occasionally dey survive. A popular idea be dat na de Roman statesman Julius Caesar be born via caesarean section wey e be de namesake of de procedure, buh if dis be de true etymology, e be based on a misconception: til de modern era, C-sections seem to be e be invariably fatal to de mommie, den Caesar ein mommie Aurelia no survive ein son ein birth per buh she live for nearly 50 years afterward. Der be chaw ancient den medieval legends, oral histories, den historical records of laws about C-sections around de world, especially insyd Europe, de Middle East den Asia. Na de first recorded successful C-section (wer na both de mommie den de infant survive) be allegedly performed on a woman insyd Switzerland insyd 1500 by ein husbie, Jacob Nufer, though na dem no record dis til 8 decades later. Plus de introduction of antiseptics den anesthetics insyd de 19th century, de survival of both de mommie den baby, den thus de procedure, cam be significantly more common.
