Signs & Symptoms
Recognize the early signs that indicate you may need medical attention
Foetal Distress
Abnormal foetal heart rate patterns indicating the baby needs to be delivered urgently.
Labour Failure to Progress
Prolonged labour with no cervical dilation despite adequate contractions.
Umbilical Cord Prolapse
Cord descending ahead of the baby — obstetric emergency requiring immediate C-Section.
Placenta Praevia
Placenta covering the cervix — precludes vaginal delivery, requires planned C-Section.
Breech Presentation
Baby in bottom-first position that cannot be safely delivered vaginally.
Previous C-Section
Planned repeat Caesarean for women with a prior uterine scar and specific risk factors.
Common Causes & Risk Factors
Cephalopelvic Disproportion
Baby's head too large for the mother's pelvis — safe vaginal delivery not possible.
Placenta Praevia
Low-lying placenta blocking the cervical outlet requiring planned Caesarean at 37–38 weeks.
Foetal Distress
Hypoxia, cord compression, or abruption causing foetal heart rate abnormalities.
Multiple Pregnancy
Twins or triplets with unfavourable presentations may require Caesarean delivery.
Maternal Medical Conditions
Severe hypertension, eclampsia, or active genital herpes may necessitate Caesarean delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Modern Caesarean section is a very safe procedure. Risks include wound infection, blood clots, and future uterine scar issues, but these are minimised with expert surgical care and post-operative management.
Hospital stay is 2–4 days. Driving can resume in 4–6 weeks. Full activity including lifting and exercise takes 6–8 weeks. Vaginal recovery concerns do not apply.
Vaginal birth after Caesarean (VBAC) may be possible depending on the reason for the first C-Section, your current pregnancy, and your surgeon's assessment. This is discussed at your antenatal visits.
Most C-Sections are performed under spinal anaesthesia — you are awake but completely pain-free from the chest down. General anaesthesia is used only in specific emergencies.
Absolutely. Breastfeeding is encouraged from the recovery room. Our nursing team provides full lactation support after both normal and Caesarean deliveries.
