Yes. And as you loose weight, the task becomes easier.

Cesarean sections (also called C-sections) are performed by Obstetricians, mostly. There are some Family practitioners who were trained in the past who may still perform deliveries and C-sections, but the vast majority are performed by Obstetricians.

There are a lot of instruments use in cesarean operation.

these are:

scalpel

allis

bobcock

army navy retractor

bladder retractor

self retaining retractor

clumps or kelly curve

mayo scissor

mets scissor

tissue holder or forcep

thumb forcep

sutures

OS or sponge

towel clip

needle holder

after having a c section you have to give your body some time to heal and then you can smoke all you want.

The answer always varies by person, doctor, and the process that will happen. Your doctor will tell you when to stop eating, though

Yes

There are several different techniques for performing a cesarean section ("C-section"), but they all are roughly similar. The first step is to sedate and anesthetize the mother. Traditionally this was done with full anesthesia which put the mother to sleep temporarily. Now, however, this is commonly achieved with the use of an epidural anesthetic which removes all sensation below the bellybutton, approximately. The mother will often be given something to calm her, as well, if she chooses. After ensuring that the mother's abdomen is properly anesthetized, the surgeon will make an incision in the lower abdomen or pelvis, depending on the particular technique being used. The traditional C-section made use of a vertical incision from just below the bellybutton down to the pelvis. This is almost never done now. The incision is usually made horizontally, near the place where the waistband of the panties would normally sit. While the incision is being made, care is taken to reduce the amount of bleeding from the small blood vessels of the lower abdomen, often with an electrocautery ("Bovie"). Slowly, the surgeon will incise deeper until the uterus comes into view. Once the uterus is exposed, it must be incised as well. This part happens very quickly, because it is important to get the infant out as soon as possible once the uterus is opened. The uterus is opened, the infant is gently pulled out, and its respiratory passages are suctioned to facilitate breathing. The umbilical cord is clamped and cut, and the baby is handed to the mother or to the nursing staff for initial newborn care. The placenta is removed and the interior of the uterus is checked with the hand to ensure no remaining placental fragments are present. The uterus is then sutured closed and is placed back into its proper place in the pelvis. The pelvis is irrigated with sterile water and suction is used to vacuum out any intrauterine fluid that may have escaped into the pelvis during delivery. The incision in the abdomen is then closed in several layers, with the surface skin being closed last. The surface may be closed with sutures or with staples, depending on the surgeon's preference. Pain medications are prescribed for the mother during the post-operative period, as well as antibiotics in some cases. Generally, the staples will be removed within a couple of weeks.

No. Midwives attend normal, low-risk deliveries. If a client requires a cesarean section, a midwife will refer her to an obstetrician, a surgeon trained in medicalized childbirth. A nurse-midwife may attend the surgery, but in the same capacity as a nurse, not as the primary provider.

Different physicians recommend different amounts of time, but typically, one year after a vaginal delivery or two years after a C-Section delivery is recommended, especially if the woman is going to attempt to have the second baby vaginally (i.e., a VBAC). Recent research suggest a woman should have at least 18 months in between deliveries if she wants to have a vbac.

There are no hard a fast rules. In theory, a women should be able to have as many children by cesarian as she wants. In reality, it all comes down to how well a woman's body heals. UTERUS: for some women, the uterus heals with a thick lower segment. In this case, many sections are possible. For others, the lower segment becomes very thin and attenuated. In such cases, labor/contractions should be avoided because of risk of rupture of the uterus. Keep in mind that a very thin uterus can rupture even before labor begins. Doctors will sometimes counsel women to avoid future pregnancy if the lower segment becomes too thin. SCARRING: Another consideration is the amount of scarring within the abdominal cavity. Whenever any surgery is performed in the abdomen, raw surfaces are left behind and adhesions (things stuck to other things) can form. This is very individual. In some patients, they can have multiple abdominal surgeries with almost no adhesion; in others, they can have huge numbers of adhesions, involving uterus, omentum, bowel and bladder. In the second case, surgery (including cesarian section) becomes very difficult and there is a risk of bowel perforation and damage to other organs. PLACENTA: The more cesarian sections a woman has, the more likely it is that the placenta may implant in the uterine scar. If it does so, it will not develop properly, but will grow into the uterine muscle and not just the endometrium. Such a placenta is called an accreta (part way through) or percreta (all the way through), and will not separate properly from the uterus after the baby is delivered. In many cases, especially with a deep accreta or percreta, a hysterectomy is necessary (because removing the placenta is not possible without causing massive bleeding and potential maternal mortality).

As a labor and delivery nurse, and currently 2 weeks away from my 4th c-section, I can tell you a bit about the risks of a 4th c-section. Generally, the scar requires a good 2 years to heal until another c-section would be preformed for a subsequent pregnancy. The concern here is related to rupture of the previous scar from the first c/s. Scar tissue is never as strong as the way our uterus' fibres are designed to withstand labor. After your first c/s, the risk of rupture goes up slightly, rupture can occur, as the uterus enlarges from a growing fetus, extra fluid or a multiple pregnancy, and from putting the uterine scar under stress like labor. Many obstetricians used to measure the thickness of the scar itself prior to the next c/s, but the thickness predicted very poorly whether someone would rupture or not. With a 4th c/s you are also more at risk for placental placement issues. Placenta percreta/accreta are more likely to occur, as well as a placenta previa. This is something found out usually into the 2nd trimster with ultrasound, so with good prenatal care, will be able to be detected and managed safely. With the percreta/accreta, it does put you at risk for an emergency, if not planned hysterectomy, where the Dr. will remove the whole uterus once baby #4 is delivered. This is because the placenta has planted it's "roots" right into the muscle of the uterus, which if was removed conventionally, would lead to massive amounts of bleeding. The 4th c/s is also generally a more difficult procedure for an obstetrician to perform. Due to previous abdominal surgeries, adhesions, make access to the uterus difficult, while also trying to avoid damage to the bladder and bowel. I know it sounds all doom and gloom, but with good prenatal care, and a previous "go ahead" by a reputable obstetrician, should relieve you that most of the risks can be managed well.

It is next to impossible that a Dr would perform artificial insemination on a Woman who has never had sex or had her hymen broken.

It is up to the Dr what form of giving birth would be appropriate for you as it depends on many factors, including the health of the mother and baby.

answer

the doc. could brake you hymen and allow you to deliver vaginally but it all depends on your and the baby's health

It is a matter of choice, BUT... After having a C-section it takes the body 4 years to heal from each c-section. In some cases up to six years. I had a cesearean with my first child. Then i found out I was pregnant when my daughter was 18 months old. I had complications the second time around. I had a cesearean the second time too, and it was not fun... I had complications with my blood pressure stablizing, effects of the epidural, etc. It was just so hard. And I was a strong and healthy 24 year old at the time. It took me longer to heal. If you get pregnant now, when you get ready to deliver it will be approx 18 months since the last C-section correct? So, it is possible to have similar complications, but if you take care of yourself and keep up with your regular checkups, things should be ok. If you can wait, try to. Give your body time to heal. As a midwife I have to agree with the above answer. However many things come into play here. Why did you have a c-section last time? Failure to progress? Pre-eclampsia? What type of c-section did you have? Lower segment? Have you discussed this with your obstetrician? My sister-in-law had a c-section for failure to progress in the second stage of labour in February 84 and in October 85 had her second baby so quickly she only just got to the hospital in time. She went on to have 3 more vaginal deliveries. On the other hand I have a friend who had a c-section for breech twins, then 3 years later in labour her scar ruptured and she had to have another c-section and a hysterectomy to save her life and that of the baby.

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.

i think this is just discharge...im a week over-due now and have gotten it throughout my pregnancy.im pretty sure its not the show that we hear so much about...i think its thicker and possibly even bloody

See this web site . . . it's got some good info on that question. http://www.the-essential-infant-resource-for-moms.com/Pregnant-After-A-Cesarean.html

depends where you live and if you have insurance? If you have insurance, then what type of insurance? if you live in CA, you can get emergency MediCal which covers everything. probably similar stuff in other states. Though often states with the most restrictive abortion laws also have the least support for pregnant women...

Yes, you can, but it is something you should discuss with your obstetrician. First, you have to consider the reasons for the previous cesarian sections. If they were one time problems (breech presentation, placenta previa), then a vaginal birth is something to consider. If your previous cesarians were done for obstructed labor, a small pelvis, "CPD," dysfunctional labor, or other conditions which are likely to recur, it may not be a good idea. A uterus with a scar on it is much more likely to rupture (burst open) during labor, and this can cause fetal distress or death. However, even there is a less than 1% chance of this happening, it is still a possibility, and one with potentially catastrophic consequences. The type of scar is important. If you wish to attempt VBAC, you will want to make sure your previous surgeries were done with low-transverse incisions on the uterus. You cannot tell what sort of incision you had by looking at the scar on your belly--you need to consult the operative record or ask the doctor who performed it. A previous low transverse uterine incision does not cut into the body of the uterus, and is least like to rupture. A vertical, low vertical, or "classical" incision, which goes up and down on the uterus, and is performed for complicated presentation (transverse), prematurity (undeveloped lower uterine segment), unusual blood vessels, or scarring and/or adhesions from previous surgery, is much more likely to rupture, and is a contraindication to labor. Mind you, cesarean section also holds risks for the mother and baby. It is major abdominal surgery and has a maternal mortality rate 2 to 4 times that of vaginal birth. Cesarean births can lead to trouble bonding and breastfeeding. But, when compared to VBAC, the risks of maternal morbidity and mortality are similar. Most doctors will not induce someone with two previous cesarians (because of an even higher risk of rupture than natural labor), but will allow labor to proceed naturally in a hospital setting. If you wish to try and deliver vaginally after two cesarian sections, this should be done in a hospital (not birthing center) that can perform an immediate cesarian section in case of an emergency. If you've delivered vaginally prior to your cesarian section, this would increase the likelihood of a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarian).

As far as we know, the first caesarian was performed in 320 BC.

It's possible that the procedure was used before then, but we'll never know because it was either not recorded or the records may have been lost to time.


In 320 BC, a woman called Durdha, who was the mother of Bindusara (the emperor of the Maurya Empire), accidentally swallowed poison. Knowing she was pregnant with the heir to the empire, a man called Chanakya, who was a teacher and advisor, decided that Durdhara should be cut open so that the heir to the empire could possibly be saved. So Durdhara's womb was cut open and Bindusara was born by caesarian as his mother was dying of poisoning. Bindusara later became the emperor of the Maurya Empire.
