Expert C-Section Delivery in Ahmedabad with ERAS Recovery
A Cesarean section (C-section or LSCS — Lower Segment Cesarean Section) is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through incisions in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. At Shrey Hospital in Ahmedabad, our experienced obstetric surgeons perform C-sections using advanced techniques that prioritise safety, minimise recovery time, and support early mother-baby bonding. We perform both elective planned C-sections and emergency procedures, with the same commitment to excellence and compassionate care in every situation.
What sets our C-section program apart is our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, designed to help you recover faster and more comfortably. This includes optimal anaesthesia techniques, early mobilisation, early feeding, and effective pain management. We also practice gentle C-section techniques that allow immediate skin-to-skin contact with your baby in the first hours after birth, supporting bonding and breastfeeding initiation. For mothers who may desire vaginal birth in the future, we provide VBAC counselling and use uterine incision techniques that preserve this option when safe.

- Our Approach
Your C-Section Journey at Shrey Hospital
From decision through recovery — comprehensive support every step
1
Pre-Surgery Counselling
Whether your C-section is planned or becomes necessary during labour, we provide thorough counselling about the procedure, reasons for recommendation, and what to expect. For planned C-sections, we discuss timing, pre-operative preparations including fasting, anaesthesia options, and post-operative recovery. We address your questions and concerns, ensuring you feel informed and prepared.
2
Anaesthesia & Surgical Preparation
Most C-sections at Shrey Hospital are performed under spinal or epidural anaesthesia, allowing you to remain awake and experience your baby's birth. Our anaesthesiologists explain the process and monitor you throughout. The surgical team prepares the operating field while maintaining your comfort and dignity. Your support person may be present in most cases.
3
Surgical Delivery
The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes, with your baby delivered within the first 10-15 minutes. Our surgeons use techniques that minimise tissue trauma and blood loss. After delivery, we facilitate immediate or early skin-to-skin contact when possible. The incision is closed in layers with dissolvable sutures or staples, and a sterile dressing is applied.
4
Recovery & Newborn Bonding
Post-operatively, we monitor you in the recovery area before transferring to your room. Our ERAS protocol encourages early mobilisation, eating, and pain management. We support breastfeeding initiation and provide guidance on newborn care while recovering from surgery. Before discharge, we review wound care, activity restrictions, warning signs, and schedule follow-up appointments.
- FAQS
Helping You Understand Cesarean Section
We recognise that needing a C-section can bring mixed emotions. These answers address common concerns, but we’re always available to discuss your specific situation and provide personalised guidance.
Is C-section safe for me and my baby?
Yes, C-section is a very safe procedure when medically indicated. Serious complications are rare. The decision for C-section is made when the benefits outweigh the risks of continuing with vaginal delivery or attempting it. Our experienced surgical team, modern facilities, and 24/7 emergency readiness ensure the highest safety standards.
How long does it take to recover from a C-section?
With our ERAS protocol, most mothers stay in hospital for 3-4 days and can resume light activities within 2 weeks. Full recovery typically takes 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed recovery timelines, pain management strategies, and guidance on lifting restrictions, driving, and returning to work based on your individual healing.
Can I have a normal delivery after a C-section (VBAC)?
Many women can attempt vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC) in subsequent pregnancies. Success rates vary based on factors like the reason for your first C-section and the type of uterine incision. We provide thorough VBAC counselling, evaluating your individual situation and discussing realistic chances of success along with potential risks.
Will I be able to bond with and breastfeed my baby after C-section?
Absolutely. We prioritise early skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding support after C-section. Unless there are medical contraindications, we facilitate skin-to-skin within the first two hours and provide lactation support tailored to breastfeeding after surgical delivery. Many mothers successfully establish breastfeeding after C-section.
Will I feel pain during the C-section?
No — spinal or epidural anaesthesia ensures you don't feel pain during the procedure. You may feel pressure or tugging sensations, which are normal. After surgery, we provide effective pain management to keep you comfortable during recovery, allowing you to care for your baby and move around as you heal.
