How do you explain CS to a layman understanding?

Source

If am to explain CS to a layman it would be in a very simple grammar that the layman will understand. Without further ado, CS is an abbreviation that stands for cesarean section which is a surgical procedure in which a child is delivered through incisions in the woman's uterus and abdomen.

This procedure of giving birth to a child can be carried out when a woman who wants to give birth to a baby is facing difficulties or when the baby is at risk.

Do you think CS should be a choice /right or as the situation demands?

Very parents most especially women want their baby to be delivered the normal way which is through vaginal delivery and not through a cesarean section which is very risky. The CS is a means of giving birth that comes as a situation demands for example, when the doctor and nurses discover that the woman is having problems or the baby is at risk they will have no option but to deliver the baby through the process of cesarean section (CS).

In a country like the USA if a woman wants to give birth through CS she must sign undertake and follow the necessary procedures before she is taken to the theater because the cesarean section is very risky to both pregnant women and their babies which is not a choice/right, but comes as situation demands.

Is there any history or stories about the belief of women who give birth through CS in your country/Community? Share with us.

Yes, there is a history of a woman who gave birth through CS in my community. She is my uncle's wife and she never dreamed of giving birth through CS, but ended up giving birth through CS as the situation demands. When she was about to give birth and was taken to the labor room, she couldn't give birth through her vaginal after trying several times which the doctor later advised her and her husband to accept giving birth through CS.

Due to her situation, she has no option but to accept the option that is given to her which she goes into the theater room with faith and gives birth to a very bouncing boy who is now in the university. The woman almost gave up due to blood shortage but thanks to God she is still alive.

What is your advice to that person who is refusing this process because of what people will say?

The truth is there is how someone would find herself in such situations that she wouldn't accept the process that is given to her. My advice to that person who is refusing this process because of what people will say, is that is it people that own your life or are you the one who put yourself in such a situation that warrants you to accept this process?

Finally, my advice to that person who is refusing this process because of what people will say, is for that person not to think about people before checking her life situations and her unborn child that is at risk. Safe yourself first because defending yourself because people still talk about those who have passed on.

Will you support your sister, or wife in choosing CS in case of any emergency during childbirth? Or you allow her to wait until the due time?

Well, I will support my sister in choosing CS in case of any emergency during childbirth. Like I said if there is an emergency but if there is none I will not support her in choosing CS, instead, I will allow her to wait until the due time.

I am inviting: @ruthjoe, @dave-hanny, and @woka-happiness
