10 Tips to Avoid a C-Section - Plus Some

Not only is it safer to have a vaginal birth (if you can) but it’s also what I find that it’s what many women want! I give you my 10 tips (plus some bonuses) of how to avoid a cesarean birth. These are taken directly from the ACOG recommendations for how to prevent a primary (first) c-section. I want to empower you to be able to do all the things you can to set yourself up for that vaginal birth - so that if you do need a cesarean, you can know with confidence that there was nothing else you could control and walk into your birth ready to embrace what the circumstance brought you. Flex & flow right! Let’s engage with our bodies, do all the things, initiate these conversations with our providers and advocate for ourselves and our loved ones. Healthy mom, baby and birth memory!
