Why does the cost vary?

• The location
• The facilities
• The doctor and team
• The level of complications: If the procedure is simple and straightforward with no complications, minimum and simple technology required, the cost will be lower. The same procedure might be more costly if the patient has other health conditions that make the procedure difficult. Also, if there is a need for high-end technology, the cost will go up.

Some of the common reasons for choosing a C-section are:

1. Abnormal foetal position
2. Labour that progresses too slowly or does not progress at all
3. The baby is too large for vaginal delivery
4. Problems with placenta
5. Precious baby 
6. Patient preference

It is important to look at all the options while picking a place to get the treatment.

Full recovery after a C-section can take several weeks. Mothers are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities during this period and follow their healthcare provider's postoperative care instructions. Pain and discomfort typically improve gradually over time.
