Common reasons for a C-section include:
- Previous cesarean delivery.
- Fetal distress.
- Breech or abnormal baby position.
- Multiple pregnancies.
- Placental complications.
- Medical conditions affecting the mother.
Dr. Zainab ensures each decision is made with the highest safety standards and individualized medical assessment.
