Nurse and patient advocate Carolyn Rafferty, RN, BSN, can answer your childbirth questions! Send them to her here.
Your question:
How can I find out more about preventing my birth from ending up
as a cesarean section delivery?
The nurse answers:
There is a wonderful new booklet available free on line for you to
download that tells you how to do this far better than I could do in a
few paragraphs. Please visit www.maternitywise.org/mw/topics/cesarean/booklet.html to download the
booklet and get the latest evidence based information about cesarean
section decisions.
There are many things within your power to prevent having a cesarean.
Things like choosing a provider, place of birth and which elective
interventions you wish to make a part of your birth experience all have
tremendous impact on the chance of your having a cesarean section. Check
it out, get the new booklet and let me know what you think!
