The only way to know for sure is to speak to your doctor and have them evaluate you and your baby. Generally, a C-section delivery is recommended if there is a medical concern, such as an abnormally positioned baby or a baby that is in distress. 
 

The duration of a C-section delivery depends on the individual and the complexity of the procedure. Generally, a C-section delivery will take between 45 minutes and 2 hours. 

The risks associated with a C-section delivery include potential for infection, longer recovery time, and increased risk for blood clots and breathing problems for the baby. There is also an increased risk of placenta accreta for future pregnancies.
