Support & Information on C Section, Cesarean Birth, C Section Recovery & Healing
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently issued a new recommendation recently, following evidence that having a c-section nearly doubles the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or thromboembolism which result in blood clots and can be fatal. The recommendation is that women undergoing a c-section should have inflatable compression devices on their legs [...]
The first thing to say about painful sex after a c-section is that it isn’t unusual so don’t panic. This can be confusing for most women who think that because the baby didn’t come out through the vagina it won’t have been affected. There are several reasons why sex can be painful after a c-section, [...]
C-section rates continue to rise, there are many theories why, but no conclusive evidence to definitively prove them. One persistent theory is women wanting them, which has gained the tag ˜too posh to push”.

Sadly they are a small minority, and in hospitals across America and increasingly the world, intervention rates continue to increase. We have to believe though that the continued and [...]
It’s not news that the c-section birth rates have been climbing in the US for many years now. This is more the case in some places than others. Miami Dade county in Florida for example now sees more c-section births than vaginal. Florida as a state runs an average of 38.2% cesarean births, above the [...]
With the continuing rise in c-section births, moves are beginning to empower women having one, much as the ‘natural’ birth movement has done for vaginal birth. We wrote recently about the innovations being practiced by Dr Fisk In England. Common for many planning vaginal birth is the expectant mom creating a birth plan. This is [...]
Putting cesarean and natural together as a pairing just doesn’t seem right, a wrongly applied description (misnomer) a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms (oxymoron). Seems like both doesn’t it? So imagine this… the scent of lavender fills the air, classical music plays softly in the background, a midwife is giving you a massage [...]
