Cesarean Delivery

“You and Your precious baby are safe. When you are under the care Dr. Thanwala”

When is a Caesarean section required?

A caesarean section, or C-section, is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through the abdomen. It was originally performed when the baby couldn’t pass through the pelvis, a condition known as cephalopelvic disproportion, still one of the most common reasons for a C-section. Over time, the indications have expanded to include abnormal baby positions, foetal distress, or situations where the mother’s health may be at risk if delivery is delayed. If you’re looking for a safe and well-managed C-section, consulting the best gynaecologist in Vashi ensures expert care, timely decisions, and better outcomes for both mother and baby.

What to expect post C-section?

Your Baby! And this will alleviate whatever little pain and discomfort the surgery may cause you. You start breastfeeding the baby immediately after the surgery. After 24 hours you are encouraged to walk around, and by the end of Day 2, you are on a full diet. We generally discharge you on Day 3 or 4, depending on how comfortable you are with managing the child.

Are there any risks involved in a C-section?

Just like any surgery, the risks of anaesthesia and surgery are always there, but they are extremely rare since most of the patients under Dr. Thanwala’s pregnancy management program are healthy young women.

Post C-Section Care?

After 7 days generally, all normal activity is allowed but avoid doing anything that will raise the intraabdominal pressure or put undue pressure on the scar, like lifting heavy objects/leg-raising exercises. Postnatal exercises are introduced gradually after 2 weeks and after 6 weeks of surgery, all activity is permitted
