Planned Caesarean section, or elective section, is performed for many reasons. The doctor divides the indications for an elective cesarean into unconditional and resulting from the stage of the mother's disease. Usually, a planned caesarean section takes place earlier than the physiological delivery - most often the term caesarean section is scheduled for the 39th week of pregnancy.
Planned Caesarean section( elective section ) is an increasingly common way of terminating a pregnancy. Why? Because with the advancement of medicine, the risk associated with the operation itself is lower and lower, and the number of indications for cutting increases. It's just that doctors choose the best solution that allows you and your baby to be he althy. The decision that your baby will be delivered by caesarean section is sometimes made several days, and sometimes several weeks before the expected delivery date.
