Ep. 6 - The Gentle C-Section: Everything You Need To Know

Jen and Bethany dive into the concept of gentle C-Sections, a more holistic and family-centered approach to the traditional Cesarean section. They explore what makes a C-Section “gentle” and discuss each of the common elements involved. The episode covers all aspects of gentle C-sections, from environmental changes in the operating room to immediate skin-to-skin contact and early breastfeeding. They discuss incorporating music, adjusting lighting, understanding the medical team’s roles, reducing  separation from the baby, vaginal seeding, and gentle postnatal recovery. They offer practical tips on how to communicate with your healthcare providers, what to ask for in advance and how to best ensure your wishes are respected.
