What does the C stand for in C-section?

Cesarean section (C-section) is used to deliver a baby through surgical incisions in the abdomen and uterus. Planning for a C-section might be necessary if there are certain pregnancy complications. Healthcare providers might recommend a C-section if labor isn't progressing normally, the baby is in distress, the baby is in an unusual position, there's a blockage, or there's a problem with the placenta. A C-section usually requires a hospital stay of 2 to 3 days.
