C-Section

Considering a more predictable and secure way to welcome your baby?


A planned C-section can offer the peace of mind you need, especially when medical factors or conditions make vaginal delivery more complex.


At Costamed Medical Group, we believe your birth experience deserves a thoughtful, informed approach—designed with the well-being of both you and your baby in mind.

 

 

 

What Is a Planned C-Section and Why Consider It?

 

Unlike an emergency C-section, a planned C-section is scheduled in advance.
This surgical procedure involves making an incision in the abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby in a controlled, safe setting.
It is especially recommended when vaginal delivery may pose greater risks for the mother or baby.

 

 

When Is It Recommended?

 

Maternal health: Pre-existing conditions or complications that could make vaginal birth risky.

Fetal health: When the baby is in a non-optimal position or may be affected by labor stress.

Previous C-section: To reduce the risk of uterine rupture from a prior scar.

Breech position: If the baby remains feet- or bottom-down at the end of pregnancy.

 

 

Benefits of a Planned C-Section

 

Safety first: Helps avoid complications when vaginal delivery is not advisable.

Control and preparation: With a set date, you can organize support at home and care for other children.

Less unpredictability and labor pain: No contractions or uncertainty of spontaneous labor.

Specialized care: A prepared medical team with everything ready for your needs.

 

 

Tips for Making the Right Decision

 

Medical consultation: Talk to your OB-GYN about the pros and cons of a planned C-section in your specific case.

Comprehensive evaluation: Consider your medical history, current condition, and any specialist recommendations.

Personalized birth plan: Create a plan that reflects your preferences, priorities, and safety.
