A Safer Arrival. Calm, Controlled Cesarean Care
We approach Cesarean delivery with the same precision and care you’d expect for any major life event. Whether it’s a planned birth or an urgent decision in labour, our obstetric team leads a coordinated, evidence-based pathway that protects both mother and baby while keeping comfort, early bonding and recovery front-of-mind.
Understanding Cesarean Delivery (C-Section)
A Cesarean delivery is a surgical method of childbirth in which the baby is delivered through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It can be scheduled ahead of time for medical reasons or performed urgently when labour presents risks to mother or child.
Common indications
- Fetal distress or abnormal cardiotocography.
- Breech or transverse presentation of the baby
- Placental complications (placenta previa, placenta accreta spectrum).
- Previous uterine surgery or multiple prior C-sections.
- Prolonged labour / failure to progress.
- Multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets) with risk factors.
- Maternal medical conditions (pre-eclampsia, cardiac disease, infections)
What to Expect: Before, During & After
Recovery Timeline
- 0 to 48 hours: Pain control, catheter removal (if placed), beginning to sit and take short walks.
- Day 2 to 4: Gradual increase in mobility, discharge planning for uncomplicated cases (typical stay 2 to 4 days).
- Week 1 to 2: Wound healing; avoid heavy lifting and driving until comfortable.
- Week 6: Most patients reach functional recovery; formal clinical review around this time to clear exercise and intimate activity.
Dos & Dont’s
- Do walk short distances soon after surgery to reduce clot risk.
- Do support your abdomen when coughing or breastfeeding (a pillow helps).
- Don’t lift heavy objects or resume high-impact exercise until cleared (usually after 6 weeks).
What to Expect: Before, During & After
Before the operation: planning & preparation
- Pre-op consultation with your obstetrician and anaesthetist: discussion of indications, anaesthesia options (spinal/epidural vs general), and individual birth preferences.
- Routine blood tests and ultrasound if needed, fasting instructions and medication review.
- Personal birth plan review: immediate skin-to-skin, delayed cord clamping and breastfeeding support are arranged where clinically appropriate.
On the day: The procedure
- Regional anaesthesia is usually given so you remain comfortable and conscious; general anaesthesia is reserved for emergencies or specific clinical reasons.
- A lower transverse (Pfannenstiel) abdominal incision is made, the uterus is opened and the baby delivered. The neonatal team carries out immediate checks and supports early bonding.
- Uterus and abdominal layers are closed with modern suturing techniques to minimise scarring.
Immediate recovery
- Short stay in the recovery area for monitoring (vitals, bleeding, pain management).
- Early mobilisation and breathing exercises are encouraged within the first 24 hours.
- Breastfeeding support and lactation advice are provided at the bedside whenever feasible.

We support immediate or early skin-to-skin and lactation help as soon as it is safe for mother and newborn.
Many women are candidates for VBAC, suitability is discussed during antenatal care based on individual history.
