How to Plan Your Best C-section

8/20/2014

0 Comments

 
Family Centered C-sections (also known as gentle or natural c-sections) are gaining popularity with mothers and doctors alike in the United States. This approach involves slowing down the process and ensuring the mother is as involved as she can be and that when possible, it is treated more like a birth than an emergency surgical procedure. Of course there are some instances when these measures are not possible but if you're planning a scheduled c-section it is very possible to enjoy the benefit of slowing down and truly enjoying and experiencing your baby's birth! 

Some options on a Family Centered Birth Plan may be:

  • Lower lighting
  • Slowing down the process
  • Optimal Cord Clamping
  • Lowering curtain during birth/clear curtain
  • Not tying down mom's hands
  • Individual levels of anesthesia to allow mom to be more alert
  • Immediate skin to skin contact for mom and baby
  • Minimal disruptions postpartum to facilitate recovery and bonding
  • Doula/birth photographer present during birth


If you are planning a c-section, I highly recommend looking into your options with your care provider. Observing even just a few of these preferences can make a huge difference in how you experience the birth of your child.
