what are the reasons for cesarean delivery?
The following list describes some reasons cesarean might be needed: 1. Labor is not progressing as it should. This may occur if the contractions are too weak, the baby is too big, the pelvis is too small, or the baby is in an abnormal position. 2. [ The baby's heart rate suggests that it is not tolerating labor well. 3. The baby is in a transverse (sideways) or breech position (buttocks first) when labor begins. 4. Heavy vaginal bleeding. This can occur if the placenta separates from the uterus before the baby is delivered. 5. A medical emergency threatens the life of the mother or infant.
