Cesarean sections occur during pregnancy in 3 major categories:
- Risk to baby - if there is signs of fetal distress, the obstetrician may perform a C - section.
- Risk to mother - if there is life threatening maternal disease
- High Risk pregnancy - some conditions may put the entire pregnancy at risk, thus the C - section could be scheduled earlier than term
