OB-GYN is a caesarian cut vertical or horizontal ?--research for a book.?

Answer 1

now a days it's horizontal which means you can still wear a bikini vertical is from way in the olden days

Answer 2

Hi -
I have a vertical incision from my c-section in 1998. My daughter was very big and very late and my doctors had to get her out in a hurry. The healing was not nearly as bad as I was warned it might be. Quite an easy recovery as long as I took it easy. I had the same incision in 2001 when my son was born and found that recovery even easier. The scar has faded quite a bit too :-)
The vertical incision is much more common these days but on average, 1/50 will be horizontal.

Answer 3

Depends on the circumstances of the pregnancy. Sometimes if twins are being delivered and one is breech, they will do a vertical. For cosmetic reasons they are typically done horizontally in the pubic hair region so that the hair grows back and hides the scar.

Answer 4

It was always cut vertical until the stupid doctors relised one day why should we cut all those muscles when we can make the cut horizontal and cut between the muscle it took alot of messed up women before they got smart.

Answer 5

horizontal is the most common althought sometimes a vertical is medically nessacery, vertical was more common in years past.. but it is now know that horizontal heal faster and look better cosmetically

Answer 6

Horizontal unless there is a major complication or an emergency.

Answer 7
