Question

Which of the following situations will not require a caesarean section?

• A. Breech position
• B. Cervix not dilated
• C. No labour pain
• D. Rupture of amniotic sac and onset of uterine contractions

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rupture of amniotic sac and onset of uterine contractions

When the baby is in a bottom down and head up position it is termed as breech position. In this situation a caesarean will be suggested. If the cervix is not dilated or if there is no labour pain, childbirth cannot progress naturally, requiring a caesarean section. However, rupturing of the amniotic sac is a natural process in parturition which will lead to a normal childbirth if no other complications set in.
