Stock Photo - 13 April 2023, Saxony-Anhalt, Dessau-Roßlau: Susanne Bantel, midwife and head of the mother and child unit, uses a CTG to measure the heartbeat of an unborn baby in the women's clinic at Klinikum Dessau. On April 21, 1610, the first documented cesarean section was performed in nearby Wittenberg, Germany. Particularly in recent decades, the rate of cesarean sections has been rising internationally. One reason is the aging mothers and the resulting increase in the number of high-risk pregnancies and births. Another is the increasing number of expectant parents who wish to have a planned delivery. Photo: Jan Woitas/dpa. - Dessau-Roßlau/Saxony-Anhalt/Germany
