In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael discuss what it means to have a gentle and family-centered cesarean birth and why it is so important. Having a gentle and family centered cesarean helps the birthing parents participate and feel more connected with their birth. You can have an empowering and satisfying birth experience no matter how your birth unfolds. Having a supportive care provider who practices true informed and shared decision making along with preparing during pregnancy for the possible variations that may occur during the birthing process can help you feel more at ease and confident as you prepare for your upcoming birth. Toward the end of the episode we give a specific list of things to consider when planning for a gentle and family-centered birth.
