Caesarean section is the process of removing the baby from the mother's womb with a surgical operation by making an incision of approximately 10-15 cm in the mother's uterus up to the placenta. During this time, general or local anesthesia is applied to the expectant mother. Since the stomach and intestines of the expectant mother who will have a cesarean section must be empty, she cannot eat or drink anything for 6-7 hours before birth. He is sent to the toilet for the last time before going into surgery.
A catheter is inserted into the expectant mother. The catheter should be removed as soon as possible after the procedure. In general, if normal birth poses a risk for the mother and baby or if normal birth cannot occur, a cesarean section is performed for the expectant mother. The person's abdomen is incised down to the placenta and the baby is removed. Once the baby is removed, the umbilical cord is cut, the placenta is removed, and the incision is stitched back. Cesarean birth ends in approximately 40-50 minutes.
