Caesarean Delivery in Delhi
Planned and emergency caesarean section with a clear explanation of why it is needed.
What caesarean delivery involves
A caesarean is the right decision in a number of situations — breech presentation, placenta praevia, previous classical caesarean, fetal distress, failure to progress. When it is genuinely indicated, it is the safest option for mother and baby.
What matters is that you understand the reason. Every caesarean recommended here comes with an explanation of the specific indication, and in planned cases, time to ask questions.
Who this is for
- Breech or transverse presentation at term
- Placenta praevia or placental abruption
- Previous classical caesarean or uterine surgery
- Fetal distress or arrested labour
Not everything on this list means you need this treatment. The workup comes first, and the recommendation follows from what it shows — not from what was booked before you arrived.
Step by step
Indication and consent
The specific reason explained, along with the alternatives and their risks.
Anaesthesia
Spinal anaesthesia in most cases, so you are awake and can hold your baby immediately.
Surgery
A low transverse incision, typically 40 to 60 minutes.
Recovery
Mobilisation within 24 hours, discharge on day three, wound review at one week.
Your results, in writing
Whatever the outcome of caesarean delivery, you leave each stage with the findings written down — what was done, what was found, what it means, and what the options are from here. Reports are issued the same day wherever the laboratory allows it.
Case study: A caesarean with a reason written down
33, Greater Kailash · first pregnancy · breech at term
What she came in with
A first pregnancy, entirely uncomplicated, with the baby found to be breech at 36 weeks and still breech at 38.
What the workup showed
Frank breech presentation with an estimated fetal weight of 3.4 kg and an adequate pelvis. External cephalic version was offered and attempted at 37 weeks; it was unsuccessful, which is the case roughly half the time.
What we did
A planned caesarean at 39 weeks under spinal anaesthesia so she would be awake for the birth, with the specific indication documented, delayed cord clamping, and skin-to-skin contact in theatre.
Outcome
An uncomplicated delivery. She held her baby within two minutes, breastfed in recovery, mobilised the same evening and went home on day three.
The point of this case
Breech at term is a genuine indication. Offering version first, then documenting why the caesarean is needed, is the difference between a caesarean and an unnecessary one.
Illustrative case. This is a composite of presentations commonly seen in this practice, written for explanation — it is not the record of an identifiable patient, and no individual's details are used. Outcomes vary, and nothing here is a prediction of what will happen in your case.
What is different about having this done here
Written indication for every caesarean
Spinal anaesthesia so you are present for the birth
Skin-to-skin in theatre where mother and baby are stable
Enhanced recovery protocol — early mobilisation and early feeding
Treated by the consultant, not by a rotating team
Dr. Tiwari performs the scans, the procedure and the follow-up herself, and looks after any pregnancy that results. Over a long treatment course that continuity is the difference between being known and being processed.

Questions about caesarean delivery
How long is recovery after a caesarean?
Most women are comfortable moving about within a day or two, discharged on day three, and back to normal activity in four to six weeks.
Can I breastfeed after a caesarean?
Yes, usually within the first hour. Our lactation support helps with positioning that avoids the wound.
