Abdominal deliveries refer to the surgical procedure of delivering a baby via an incision made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This procedure is commonly needed when a vaginal birth is not possible or when it is deemed safer for the mother or baby. Other synonyms for abdominal deliveries include cesarean section, C-section, cesarean birth, and cesarean delivery. These terms are interchangeable and used to describe the same medical procedure. However, it is important to note that a cesarean section is a major surgery, and its use should only be recommended when there are medical indications that make it necessary. Women who are planning their birth should always discuss their options with their healthcare provider.
