Un accouchement chirurgical est également appelé césarienne. La femme est alors anesthésiée pour ne pas ressentir de douleurs. Le médecin pratique une incision dans le ventre de la mère juste au-dessus des poils pubiens. Le médecin sort le bébé par l'incision pratiquée.

The surgical delivery is also known as a caesarean section or c-section. For this, the woman gets an aesthetic, so she does not feel any pain. The doctor makes a cut just above the pubic hair on the woman's stomach. The baby is then pulled out through this cut.

Reasons for a caesarean section

These are some of the most common reasons for a caesarean section:

  • The baby's head is too big to fit through the mother's pelvis.
  • The placenta is located in front of the entrance to the uterus (cervix) or the placenta detaches too soon.
  • A part of umbilical cord has slipped out through the entrance of the uterus and is in the vagina. This can cause the baby to suffocate.
  • The baby is not positioned with its head down.
  • There is more than one baby.
  • The mother is HIV-positive.
  • The mother or the child has another illness, which makes a natural birth impossible.
