The usual schedule of prenatal visits to your practitioner is monthly for the first twenty-eight weeks, every two weeks from twenty-eight to thirty-six weeks, and weekly thereafter until delivery. The frequency and complexity of these pregnancy prenatal check-up may vary, according to your practitioner's philosophy, your previous obstetrical history, and any special needs you and your baby may have. Your obstetrician will use the office visits to monitor the changes you and your baby are experiencing. Most of these changes are normal. Other changes may signal a concern that needs to be addressed. In most cases, these concerns can be dealt with or corrected early on so your chances of delivering a healthy baby are great.
Regular pregnancy prenatal check-up with Dr. Amal in Dubai will help to ensure that your self-care is on target and that your baby is growing, as she should. |
A Cesarean section (C-section) is surgery to deliver a baby. The baby is taken out through the mother's abdomen. About one in four women have their babies this way. Most C-sections are done when unexpected problems happen during delivery. These include
Health problems in the mother
The position of the baby
Not enough room for the baby to go through the vagina
Signs of distress in the baby
C-sections are also more common among women carrying more than one baby.
The surgery is relatively safe for mother and baby. Still, it is major surgery and carries risks. It also takes longer to recover from a C-section than from vaginal birth. After healing, the incision may leave a weak spot in the wall of the uterus. This could cause problems with an attempted vaginal birth later. However, more than half of women who have a C-section can give vaginal birth later. |
