As cesarean section is considered as a major surgery and may cause various complications, some health care experts believe that many c-sections are medically unnecessary and many mother have been persuaded not to choose it. A cesarean section is major surgery and should be done only when the health of the mother or baby is at risk.

The natural way for a baby to be born is through the mother's vagina (birth canal). But sometimes vaginal birth isn't possible. If you or your baby have certain problems before or during labor, c-section may be safer than vaginal birth. The situations requiring cesarean section include:

1.You've already had a c-section in another pregnancy or other surgeries on your uterus.
2.Your baby is too big to pass safely through the vagina.
3.he baby's buttocks or feet enter the birth canal first, instead of the head. This is called a breech position.
4.The baby's shoulder enters the birth canal first, instead of the head. This is called a transverse position.
5.There are problems with the placenta. This is the organ that nourishes your baby in the womb. Placental problems can cause dangerous 6.bleeding during vaginal birth.
7.Labor is too slow or stops.
8.The baby's umbilical cord slips into the vagina, where it could be squeezed or flattened during vaginal delivery. This is called umbilical cord prolapse.
9.You have an infection like HIV or genital herpes.
10.You're having twins, triplets or more.
11.The baby has problems during labor that show it is under stress, such as a slow heart rate. This is sometimes called fetal distress.
12.You have a serious medical condition that requires intensive or emergency treatment (such as diabetes or high blood pressure).
13.The baby has a certain type of birth defect.
