- Caesarean section, also known as C-section, or caesarean delivery, is the surgical procedure by which a baby is delivered through an incision in the mother's abdomen, often performed because vaginal delivery would put the baby or mother at risk. Reasons for this include obstructed labor, twin pregnancy, high blood pressure in the mother, breech birth, and problems with the placenta or umbilical cord. This cross-sectional study was conducted among the pregnant females presenting in obstetrical clinics. The maternal age, gestational age, gravidity, parity, previous history of section was noted on a predefined proforma. All the data was entered and analyzed with SPSS Ver. 23.0. There were 90 patients that were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 28.34±2.45 years. All the patients underwent trial of labor. Out of 90 patients, 21 patients were shifted to theatre for C-section due to different complications. Rest of the patients delivered normally.
