What conditions lead to a c-section during delivery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons...: C/Sections are done for many different reasons. Some of the more common reasons are: The baby is bottom first (breech); the baby isn't doing well and needs to be delivered quicky; the mother isn't doing well and needs to be delivered quickly; the baby is too big and can't come out in-spite of adequate labor; mom has had a prior c/section... There are many other reasons. Best wishes!
