A member asked:

What is a c-section? does it hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Surgery to deliver..: A C/Section is a surgical procedure to delivery the baby through an incision in the lower belly, instead of through the vagina. There is some discomfort during a c/section but with good anesthesia, there isn't a lot of pain. Best wishes!
