As the trend of C-Section deliveries becomes more common amongst new mothers, according to WHO, it is estimated that cesarean birth or C-Section births would be 30 percent of the total births by 2030.
According to National Family Health Survey (NFHS) reports, the trend of C-section deliveries in India has been on the rise. It was 8.5 per cent in 2005-06, 17.2 per cent in 2015-16, and in 2019-21, it increased to 21.5 per cent.
Meanwhile, Nagaland, although recorded among the lowest in the country, also saw a significant rise in the overall percentage of C-section from 19.23% in 2020-21 to 21.15% in 2021-22, according to HMIS (Health Management Information System) 2020-21 & 2021-22: An Analytical Report released earlier in January.
It may be noted that the national averages for the corresponding periods respectively were 21.3% and 23.29%.
Experts have always debated cesarean births on demand by mothers in recent years. According to an article by The Logical Indian, experts have categorized maternal reasons for childbirth in six main categories: the fear of childbirth, safety concerns related to health risk perceptions, negative experiences of previous births, reliance on science and surgery, access to biased information, and superstitious beliefs of inauspicious birth dates. It was found that most women had more than one reason for opting cesarean birth.
“Caesarean sections are critical to saving lives in situations where vaginal deliveries would pose risks, so all health systems must ensure timely access for all women when needed,” said Dr Ian Askew, the Director of WHO’s Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research and the UN joint program.
However, Dr Askew was of the view that “Not all cesarean section births carried out at the moment are needed for medical reasons. Unnecessary surgical procedures can be harmful, both for a woman and her baby.”
“Doctors undertake cesarean sections in situations like prolonged labor, fetal distress, or because the baby is in an abnormal position. Like all other surgeries, C-Section surgeries also come with their risks. The potential heavy bleeding and risk of infection, extended recovery times after childbirth, a significant delay in breastfeeding the child, and establishing skin-to-skin contact could lead to complications in the future,” the Dr Askew added.
