Despite what you plan, mother-to-be might have to go in for an unplanned c-section delivery. But why this happens. There are a number of reasons, lets look into it.
1. Failure to progress with labour either cervix, not dilating or the labour has stopped/slowed or the baby is not in an optimal delivery position
2. Abnormal position of the baby like breech, transverse lie
3. Fetal distress means the baby's heart rate is dipping due to inadequate oxygen supply
4. Placenta previa when the placenta lies low in the uterus and partially or completely covering uterus
5. Cord prolapse when baby's umbilical cord slips in the vagina
6. Cephalo pelvic disproportion when the pelvis is inadequate for the size of baby
7. Previous c-section delivery.
