Prevent Caesarean Surgery

With an ever increasing caesarean rate this 5 minute video is worth a look. It shows mums who have had both vaginal births and caesareans talking about their experiences, as well describing practical ways to minimise your odds of a caesarean. Good little resource list at the end as well.

Caesarean surgery is life saving for a small proportion of women and babies. But a good proportion of women having caesareans every year don't need them, or might have avoided them if they'd known about the factors that increase their risk. Unfortunately too many of us aren't aware of the relationship between inductions, epidurals, monitoring and a host of other interventions - and caesarean. Let's get the word out and reclaim our right to normal birth.
