Emergency C-sections are performed for several reasons, including:
- Fetal distress: When the baby shows signs of distress, such as an abnormal heart rate, an emergency C-section might be required. - Placental problems: Issues like placenta previa or placental abruption can necessitate an urgent C-section. - Labor complications: Problems like uterine rupture or failure to progress in labor can require immediate surgical intervention. - Maternal health issues: Conditions like severe preeclampsia or eclampsia may make a C-section necessary to protect the motherâs health.
