Description

A Cesarean Section, commonly referred to as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. At Sunleaf Women’s Care Hospital, we perform C-sections with utmost precision, care, and adherence to safety protocols. Our surgical team, led by expert gynecologists and anesthetists, ensures the highest standards of maternal and neonatal safety during every procedure. C-sections may be planned (elective) or performed as an emergency when vaginal delivery poses a risk to the mother or baby. Common indications for a C-section include fetal distress, placenta previa, breech presentation, multiple pregnancies, failed labor progression, or previous cesarean deliveries with unfavorable conditions for vaginal birth. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and is done under spinal or epidural anesthesia, allowing the mother to remain awake and aware during the birth without feeling pain. Our operation theaters are equipped with advanced monitoring and surgical systems, ensuring smooth execution and quick response to any intraoperative needs. At Sunleaf, we also offer Gentle C-Section techniques, where feasible, allowing mothers to watch the birth of their baby through a transparent drape, delayed cord clamping, and immediate skin-to-skin contact. This helps bridge the emotional gap sometimes felt in traditional surgical births. Postoperative care is a major focus. We monitor vital signs, manage pain effectively, and encourage early ambulation and breastfeeding. Our nursing team provides round-the-clock support during the recovery period. Most mothers are discharged within 3–4 days after surgery, and follow-up care includes wound checks, dietary guidance, emotional support, and lactation counseling. While we promote natural delivery whenever possible, we firmly believe that a timely C-section can be life-saving. Our decision is always guided by medical necessity and patient safety—not convenience. We also counsel patients thoroughly about future delivery options, including the possibility of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC), based on their individual case history. At Sunleaf Women’s Care Hospital, our goal is to ensure that every birth—whether vaginal or surgical—is a safe, respectful, and memorable experience for the mother and her family.
