Which description best fits an elective CS in the lecture?
Answer
Its indication and timing are predetermined antenatally and it occurs before labour or complications
Explanation
The lecture defines elective CS by antenatal planning and performance before labour or complications. The other choices confuse urgency, incision type, or parity classification with timing. **Key takeaway:** Elective describes planned timing, not incision or previous CS status. **Glossary:** **Elective CS**: a preplanned caesarean.
