Sometimes it is necessary for your doctor to deliver your baby by Cesarean section. In fact, nationwide nearly one in every four births occur by Cesarean.
At Gunnison Valley Hospital, we have 2 operating rooms located near Labor and Delivery. Dad can be present to support mom during the C-section if mom has spinal or epidural anesthesia and is alert for the surgery. We ask that no photos be taken at this time. Most women who deliver by Cesarean section stay approximately 3-4 nights in the hospital.
