This series will give you everything you need to know about caesarean sections! The two doctors quickly jump into the discussion and discuss what a caesarean birth is. A caesarean birth is an abdominal procedure where the obgyn cuts through the abdomen and into the uterus to deliver the baby. Dr. Sogade gives insight about the history of the caesarean section. The caesarean section dates to ancient roman times. The surgery was rarely performed due to the high risks associated with the procedure. Originally, it was only used to save a baby from the womb of a mother who had died while giving birth. Fortunately, the caesarian section has greatly evolved since its discovery! Today, a Caesarean section or c section can be elective or emergency. An elective c section is a scheduled procedure and is not a high stress situation. Dr. Weathersby explains the reasons for both elective c sections and emergency c sections. A baby in a breech position is one reason for a c section. If a mother wants a vaginal birth but their baby is in a breech position, an external cephalic version can be performed. Dr. Weathersby explains this technique of moving a baby to the correct position. Today’s episode also includes the topic of vbac or vaginal birth after caesarean section. The type of incision made on the uterus determines if a mother is eligible for a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean section. A vertical scar does not allow a woman to have a vaginal birth due to the greater risk of rupturing the uterus. Dr. Weathersby explains the severity of this risk. On the other hand, a lower uterine transverse scar may permit a woman to have a vaginal birth. Dr. Maryjoy Weathersby and Dr. Bola Sogade discuss all of this and more in this insightful episode!
