caesarean

Her twins were delivered by Caesarean section at 26 weeks in a high-risk operation.

Rachel Williams, from Warwick, says she was thinking about the scheme before the birth of her twins in 2022, when doctors told her she would need a Caesarean four weeks early.

Eventually a Caesarean was recommended and a doctor was located who was prepared to carry it out.

Complications with her pregnancy meant she had to have an emergency Caesarean at 32 weeks and her baby, Tianie, died.

It also showed earlier delivery reduced the need for emergency Caesarean section and did not increase the risk of tearing.
