How To Escape The Most Common C-Section Complications

 

If you have given birth by a c section, the odds are that you will end up suffering from any number of c-section complications, but there are always ways of avoiding the most common of these.

After the birth you should monitor your wound carefully. There are some warning signs that you need to be aware of that might indicate a setback. If you experience any of the following c-section complications, be sure to make contact with your doctor or midwife straight away:-

  • If you have a fever.  It is occasionally normal to have a somewhat higher temperature than normal, but if you are monitoring it yourself, generally doctors would want you to seek medical advice if it was higher than 101f.  If you have a less intense fever for longer than 24 hours you should also get in touch with your doctor.
  • If your incision is draining it should be looked at, whilst it may be usual to lose a slight discharge it is probably best to allow the professionals decide if you have a problem other that make that judgment yourself.
  • If you have any discomfort that doesn’t cease or disappear after a few days you should again seek medical help.  If you suffer pain that increases despite pain killing medication then call or seek professional medical advice immediately.
  • If you start to have any difficulty breathing.  You are at a greater risk of any breathing problems following a Caesarean.  It is normal to feel sore at first and this may mean that you struggle to take any deep breaths.  If this continues to be a problem or gets any worse then you should contact your doctor.
  • If your sanitary pad is soaked every hour or two, if you have no bleeding or if your bleeding in no way begins to slow down then you need to be seen. Sometimes this can be due to a piece of the placenta being left inside your uterus.

If you are ever in any doubt regarding any c-section complications you might be experiencing, it is important that you immediately phone your healthcare professional or doctor.
