What is C-Section?

Cesarean birth is the birth of a baby by surgery. The doctor makes an incision (cut) in the belly and uterus (womb) and then removes the baby. This surgery is called a cesarean section or c-section.

The natural way for a baby to be born is through the mother's vagina (birth canal). But sometimes vaginal birth isn't possible. If you or your baby have certain problems before or during labor, c-section may be safer than vaginal birth. You and your health care provider may plan your cesarean in advance. Or you may need an emergency (unplanned) c-section because of a complication that arises for you or your baby during pregnancy or labor.

A Caesarean section (also known as C-section), is a surgical procedure in which incisions are made through a mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk, although in recent times it has been also performed upon request for childbirths that could otherwise have been natural. Source: Wikipedia

This calculator predicts ovulation dates based on the date of your last period and the length of your menstrual cycle. It provides approximate dates only. Having intercourse during the few days before ovulation will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Since sperm can survive for several days, keep in mind that these are not the only days to become pregnant.

Remember: If your periods are irregular, this calculator is not a good way to predict your ovulation dates. Speak to your doctor about other ways to help you identify when you can conceive.
