BE PATIENT
There is a harmful tendency to find any excuse to induce labor even before your baby is ready. Your have the right to ask why your doctor is scheduling an induction or a c-section, a second opinion and even refuse them (if you are sure it is safe).
CHOOSE THE RIGHT DOCTOR, MIDWIFE AND BIRTHING TEAM
The c-section rate varies greatly from one country, state, hospital, doctor and even nurse!
It is your right to ask your doctor his c-section rate and find another health care provider if his c-section rate seems too high for you.
BE WELL-PREPARED
Breathing in and out is not enough to give birth comfortably.
The more prepared you will be to deal with the changes happening in your body during labor and birth, the more you will be able to control how comfortable you are and avoid a cascade of interventions that could lead to a c-section.
BE WELL-INFORMED
If you do not know why a c-section is decided during your labor, you will not be able to inquire about safer or better alternatives.
Knowing better alternatives to help your labor progress will help you avoid a c-section.
So many women reported regretting not having been more able to participate in the decisions that could have avoided them a c-section.
BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE DECISION PROCESS OF HAVING A C-SECTION OR NOT
Labor is challenging for any woman. That is the reason you should have discussed your views on c-sections that are done "just in case" or "just to speed things up".
Writing a birthing plan with your birth partner and Doula is a great way to make sure that they are your voice if you are actively in labor and cannot participate in the decision that could avoid you and your baby a c-section.
HAVE A STRONG TEAM TO SUPPORT YOU
You will be giving birth. Because you will be well-prepared, you will be able to concentrate and be comfortable while giving birth.
You will have special needs as they come that will be best met by your birth partner and your Doula.
Having a strong support team is priceless for helping you make your birth an exceptional experience!
