A member asked:
Does a planned c-section have less risks than a emergancy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: It is safer than emergency treatment but remember any surgery has risks so it's important that you and your doctor go over the risks and benefits. Any emergency situation could be dangerous so avoid them if feasible.
