Caesarean Section
A caesarean section is the name of the operation done to deliver a baby through a cut in your stomach and uterus (womb). In some cases this is safer than a vaginal delivery. The surgery is performed by an obstetrician and it usually only takes a few minutes for the baby to be born. A general or epidural anaesthetic can be used. Most women will be up and about within 24 hours of the surgery.
Visit the National Women's Health website for more information on caesarean sections.

National Women's Health also runs a clinic for women considering a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean section.
