Caesarean section is often a medical decision. However, some expectant mothers just need it.
With a narrow pelvis
Most often, a narrow pelvis cannot be correlated in proportion to the size of the baby's head. This makes it difficult to have a baby naturally. That is why, in order to avoid any complications, doctors prescribe a cesarean for a woman in labor.
Pelvic pathology
Women who also have various pathologies of the pelvic structure can have significant problems with natural childbirth. For example, a child may simply get stuck in the mother's birth canal. The doctor is obliged to control the entire process of the baby's exit from the mother's womb, but at the first difficulties the woman in labor needs to be ready for a cesarean section.
Shoulder dystocia
This problem is one of the most serious for a woman in labor. It is associated with a delay in the anterior shoulder behind the pubic articulation after the birth of the fetal head. In simple words: the baby leaves the mother's womb with two shoulders at once. This will prevent the midwife from removing it gently. Usually, such difficulties occur when very large children are born.
Low activity of the mother during childbirth
Also, the reason for emergency cesarean can be reduced activity of a pregnant woman. Most often this occurs if the woman in labor was unable to choose the optimal position during childbirth. Remember, walking can help your baby move down the birth canal. Then natural childbirth will be successful.
