The procedure typically involves the following steps:
Anesthesia: Most c-sections are performed under regional anesthesia, such as an epidural or spinal block, which numbs the lower half of the body. Incision: A horizontal incision is made in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area. Delivery: The baby is delivered through the incision, and the umbilical cord is cut. Closure: The incisions in the uterus and abdomen are then closed with sutures.
