Caesarean section is the surgical delivery of a baby through incisions in the mother's abdomen and uterus. The rate of c-sections has increased in the past 20 years due to factors like previous c-sections and fetal distress. C-sections are indicated for maternal issues like narrow pelvis, as well as fetal issues like distress. The risks of c-section include infection, hemorrhage and injury to nearby organs. Success rates of vaginal birth after c-section are 60-80%, depending on the indication for previous c-sections.
