Cesarean Section: Medical Reasons, 4:01 minutes

Cesarean section (c-section) is delivery of a baby by surgery. C-section can be a lifesaving operation when either you or your baby face certain problems before or during labor and delivery. Dr. Siobhan Dolan talks with moms-to-be and discusses the medical reasons why some women might need c-sections. “C-section, Medical Reasons” is part of the Healthy Pregnancy, Healthy Baby video series.
