How is an Emergency Cesarean Section Different from a Planned Cesarean?
An emergency C-section differs from a planned C-section primarily in terms of timing and urgency. Planned C-sections are scheduled in advance due to known medical conditions or preferences, whereas emergency C-sections are performed due to unforeseen complications during labor or delivery. The urgency of the procedure often means that there is less time for preparation and discussion, and the medical team must act quickly to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
