Frequently Asked Questions

One can have a vaginal birth after Cesarean (VBAC) except for those cases where the first Cesarean was performed for conditions like small, deformed pelvis and so on. Your obstetrician will be best person to judge whether or not you can undergo a normal delivery.
4. How can I participate in my C-section?
Although the procedure does not require a mother’s involvement as much as a vaginal delivery does but you don’t need to feel left out. You may not see your baby being delivered but almost instantaneously hear its voice.
A ‘gentle’ Cesarean section is also being performed nowadays in which the baby is allowed to crawl out of the incision on its own. An increasing number of doctors now believe in early skin-to-skin contact and let the baby rest on the mother’s chest while the incision is being sutured. You may talk to your doctor about the options.

You can lead a normal life by the end of one month. Until then you can avoid doing heavy manual work
