Patient presents for cesarean section with no other deliveries or pregnancies noted in the chart. She was prepared and draped in the usual sterile manner for an abdominal procedure. An incision was made and carried down through the subcutaneous tissue, muscular fascia, and peritoneum. Once inside the abdominal cavity, a low cervical transverse incision was made in the lower uterine segment after creating a bladder flap by both blunt and sharp dissection. With creation of the bladder flap, a transverse incision was made and the infant was delivered as a vertex. The placenta was then removed as well. With removal of the placenta and baby, cord blood was obtained.
