What happens when birth becomes scheduled, sanitised, hashtagged-and sliced?
In Cut and Delivered: The Caesarean Chronicles, an obstetrician steps out from behind the OT drape to tell the stories no consent form ever mentions. With scalpel-sharp wit and unflinching honesty, this book dissects the modern childbirth epidemic where patience is outdated, Google outranks experience, and the uterus is forever not cooperating.
From muhurat babies booked like VIP events to too posh to push deliveries, from WhatsApp University diagnoses to hospital metrics that value speed over waiting, these chronicles take you inside labour rooms where biology collides with belief, fear, family pressure, and litigation.
This is not a medical textbook.
It's a confession.
A satire.
A love letter to messy, unpredictable birth-and the exhausted doctors and mothers navigating it.
You'll meet:
Interns learning obstetrics the hard, bloody way
Families who crowdsource delivery decisions
Mothers mourning births they didn't plan
Doctors making split-second calls they'll replay for years
Written with humour, empathy, and razor-edged social commentary, Cut and Delivered asks uncomfortable questions:
When did normal delivery become the risky option?
Are caesareans always chosen-or quietly coerced?
And who really decides how a baby is born?
Whether you are a doctor, a parent, a parent-to-be, or simply curious about what happens behind closed OT doors, this book will make you laugh, wince, and rethink everything you thought you knew about childbirth.
Scrub in.
The stories are real.
The scars-some visible, some not-are permanent.
