[C-Sections] 5 Ways a Doula Can Help

Let's kick things off by making one thing clear: a cesarean birth is STILL A BIRTH!

None of that “C-sections aren’t natural” or “it’s not a real birth” b.s. here, thanks!

While the hope for many is to have a vaginal delivery, cesareans are a common surgical procedure that can help bring baby earthside when it is unsafe to do so otherwise. Sometimes a cesarean birth (also known as a C-section) is planned ahead of time for different medical reasons or it can be emergent after a tried vaginal delivery is deemed too risky for mother or baby to continue. Whatever the reason may be, a doula can still provide support if you find yourself preparing for a cesarean.
