The natural way of giving birth is through the vagina, however, sometimes this type of delivery is unfeasible and recourse is made to a cesarean section. It is a surgical procedure to remove the baby from the womb. It is the medical staff who decides whether a cesarean section is to be performed or a natural birth can occur. There are certain causes or reasons that lead a gynecologist to opt for an instrumentalized delivery.

Causes for Cesarean Delivery

This surgical method should be used when the health of the baby or the mother is in danger. According to doctors, cesarean is recommended when there is:

- Problems with the umbilical cord.There are situations in which the umbilical cord stays inside the vagina or is wound around the baby's neck.
- Hemorrhage of the placenta.
- Abnormal pelvic structure in the mother.A serious injury or defect can cause it.
- Serious health problems in the mothersuch as heart disease, herpes infection, etc.
- Severe preeclampsia.May cause fetal distress.
- The birth process is too slow hace and makes the mother and baby suffer.- Bad position of the baby.
Instead of presenting cephalic position, with the head first, is of feet or breech.- Multiple birth of more than two babies.
Not all, but most.- Signs of the baby's suffering como, such as slowing down your heart rate, etc.
- Illness in the baby.Spina bifida or congenital heart disease of the baby may require a cesarean section.
It is necessary to clarify that each case is unique and that, even if your delivery presents one of these problems, that does not mean that it is by cesarean section.
