WHAT IS A C-SECTION / CESAREAN DELIVERY?
A C-section is a way of delivering a baby by surgery through a cut (incision) that opens up the mother’s abdomen and uterus. A C-section is used to deliver babies when health care providers believe it is safer for the mother, the baby, or both.
Delivering a baby may not always go as smoothly as intended as there are many complications that can arise during the birthing process. Cesarean delivery may be required to deliver the baby as opposed to vaginal birth. Some of the conditions that may make a C-section or Cesarean delivery more likely include:
- Problems with labor
- Size of the baby
- Abnormal fetal (baby) heart rate
- Multiple babies
- Prior C-section
WHAT IS A C SECTION INJURY or CESAREAN SECTION MALPRACTICE?
Although C-sections are generally safe for mothers and babies, they are major surgery, and complications may arise. A C-section injury can occur when the doctor injures the baby or mother during the surgical procedure. Some malpractice injuries include but are not limited to fetal lacerations, delayed C-sections, blood clots, maternal surgical injuries, maternal death, fetal death, and bleeding/hemorrhage.
