Sometimes women choose to have a cesarean section for what reasons?

Answer 1

Well a C-section can be done either by request or by the doctor's decisions. Doctors will most likely do a C-section if the labor becomes complicated and has problems such as fetal distress and dystocia. C-sections are also done if the labor might become life-threatening to the mother or child.

Answer 2

A cesarean section is necessary when it is not possible for the mother to deliver the baby naturally, if the pelvis is not wide enough or the baby is exceptionally large then sometimes this is not possible. Emergency cesareans are carried out when the baby, mother or both become medically distressed during the birth process and are performed to ensure the safety of both. Planned cesareans are carried out if the risks of natural birth are higher than normal and sometimes because the mother does not want to undergo normal labour.

Answer 3

The most common reason that a cesarean section is performed (in 35% of all cases, according to the United States Public Health Service) is that the woman has had a previous c-section

Answer 4

Convenience, fear of childbirth, avoiding the risks of a vaginal delivery.

Answer 5

Some women need a cesarean section to protect the fetus and themselves. As some babies are heavy, the cesarean section protects the mother and the child.

Answer 6

One might have a Cesarean birth due to a long and complicated birthing process. The baby may be lodged in an awkward position or may just be too large for the mother.
