As a birth worker, I’ve never found a guide that adequately prepared birth workers to support a c-section. Most birth prep goes straight from avoiding c-sections to trying to pick up the pieces in the event that a c-section is needed.
Which is a recipe for a confusing, uninformed, and unsupported birth.
How many of us unknowingly set our clients up for a negative c-section experience because of our own lack of confidence around c-sections?
How can we address specific concerns about c-sections with clients during prenatals?
How can we offer meaningful support to clients from the moment they come out of surgery?
This guide includes 30+ pages of information on how to best offer support through the many aspects of the c-section process as a birth worker.
It includes:
C-section myths
Reasons for a c-section
Different types of c-sections
