Karnataka Sees Rise in C-Sections, Bengaluru Leads the Trend

More women in Karnataka are having babies through C-sections.

This is when doctors deliver the baby through a cut in the mother's belly, instead of the usual way.

Almost half of the births in hospitals now use C-sections.

This is happening more often in cities like Bengaluru.

There are a few reasons for this: some women have health problems, like diabetes, which make pregnancy risky.

Also, some women are choosing to have babies later in life, and some use fertility treatments.

Sometimes, it's also because of beliefs about when it's a good time to have a baby or because of worry about the law.

Doctors sometimes do C-sections to avoid problems, but natural birth is often better if possible.
