In this episode, you’re going to learn about cesarean births - both planned and unplanned. I’ve actually had two cesarean births, one unplanned and one planned. I want to show some love to fellow cesarean parents because it’s essential, whether you’re planning a cesarean or not, to understand what might happen. Being prepared for the possibility of a c-section is crucial, as it can be the right choice for you or your baby’s health. And it’s ok to feel upset about having a cesarean but don’t let it overshadow the joy of becoming a new parent. If it does, don’t hesitate to ask for help.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
- Which factors could lead to a planned cesarean
- What happens during a c-section from start to finish
- How the hospital might implement “enhanced recovery” strategies both before and after birth
- How spinal anesthesia works and why it is the preferred method
- Who will be in the operating room
- What the surgery feels like
- What a family-centered cesarean is and why I recommend you ask for it
