O84.2: Multiple delivery, all by caesarean section
Multiple delivery, all by caesarean section, pertains to the birth of more than one baby, wherein all babies are delivered through surgical intervention known as a caesarean section. This procedure involves making incisions in the mother's abdomen and uterus to safely remove the babies. A caesarean section may be planned or unplanned, depending on various factors such as pregnancies with multiple babies, baby's health conditions, or the mother's medical history. This situation often presents when carrying twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples. The medical intervention aims to reduce complications and ensure the safe delivery of all babies. Though recovery may take longer compared to vaginal births, most mothers and babies fare well post-procedure. It's important to note that every pregnancy and delivery is unique, and the healthcare team will make decisions based on the best interest of both the mother and the babies.
