Question 12

All of the following are reasons for performing a cesarean section EXCEPT ​

Accepted Answer

The correct choice is D because research has shown that many women experience a decrease in sexual desire and frequency for several months following the birth of a baby.

It is important for partners to communicate and understand this temporary decrease in sexual activity.

Postpartum depression can cause extreme symptoms, including loss of interest in the baby and obsessive thoughts about harming oneself or the baby. While medication and psychological interventions can be successful in treating postpartum depression, it is a serious condition that requires prompt attention and treatment. It is not accurate to say that it causes symptoms for 90% of new mothers, and it is not being considered for removal as a diagnostic category.

Accepted Answer

When a baby is in a transverse lie (lying sideways across the pelvis), a vaginal delivery is not possible and a cesarean section is the safest option for both the baby and the mother. Waiting for the baby to adjust its position is not recommended as it can increase the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Episiotomy and vacuum extraction are not relevant in this situation.
