incision through the abdominal wall. It's
usually done horizontally near the pubic
hairline. Or, the doctor might make a vertical
incision from just below the navel to just
above the pubic bone. 9

made; usually horizontally across the lower part
of the uterus (low transverse incision). Other
types of uterine incisions might be used
depending on the baby's position or
complications such as placenta previa.
4. Delivery: The baby will be delivered through the
incisions. The placenta will be removed from the
uterus, and the incisions will be closed with
sutures.
