Cesarean birth (c-section) is sometimes necessary for the health of either Mother or Baby, but when it is necessary, it can  be done with respect, dignity and in a gentle way that can preserve and protect your memory of birth. This week we will take you through options for preferences should a cesarean birth become necessary and will help to prepare you to have a safe, satisfying gentle cesarean. We will address questions to ask your doctor or midwife to explore your  options including skin-to-skin, delayed cord clamping,  updates throughout the birth, and more. You will hear inspiring stories from families who had an opportunity for a gentle cesarean,  and we will also share with you resources for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).  

The first hour and days of life are precious. We will help you to plan the first hour and days of your newborn baby’s life, provide you with the latest science on: delayed cord-clamping, the placenta including lotus birth, skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care), breastfeeding, the breast crawl, the golden hour, attachment parenting, baby-wearing, singing to baby and other ideas for you to consider and prepare  for the first hours and days of baby’s life.   

The birth of your baby is only the beginning.  There is still much to consider and learn about way you can enhance and prepare for caring for your precious newborn(s)  We will share science and suggestions for bonding with your baby, getting baby to latch,  breastfeeding, night time parenting including: safe co-sleeping, newborn sleep patterns and infant massage.
