A C-section, or cesarean section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby when a vaginal delivery is not possible or safe, or when the health of the mother or the baby is at risk. It involves making incisions in the abdomen and uterus to remove the baby. C-sections can be planned ahead of time or performed in an emergency, and they are typically recommended in cases where vaginal delivery is not feasible or poses risks to the mother or the baby, such as labor dystocia, fetal distress, breech presentation, multiple pregnancies, or placenta previa
