Planning a Positive Caesarean
> Pregnant, or planning
a pregnancy? Sick of the Horror Stories?
"Due to my rather large fibroid I ended up having an elective caesarean birth. All went very well, no pain, and generally it was a wonderful experience…I would like to thank you for all I have learned through your sessions. I felt well armed with knowledge.
Once again thanks

Meeting your child via caesarean can be a positive, enriching event. But it does require a certain level of knowledge and understanding to know how to plan an empowering caesarean.
Through our antenatal course titled “Path to a Better Birth”, you can discover ways to maximize your chances of feeling that initial bonding and rush of hormones that women having a natural birth often experience. You can feel safe & strong. You can be involved and important. It is these feelings that affect a woman’s perception of her birth experience, and can colour the entire postnatal period and beyond.
Is it really possible?
To see an “empowering caesarean” birth plan created and used by one Birthtalk woman,
go to the Caesarean Awareness Network Australia, at www.canaustralia.net/csbirthplan.htm.
For more information and support, come along to our “Path to a Better Birth” course,
where this woman gathered much knowledge & insights used to prepare her highly-
effective plan.
For women needing emotional support & understanding after a caesarean birth, we recommend our“Healing from Birth” support group . Many women processing a caesarean birth attend, and are supported by women who have themselves experienced a challenging caesarean experience, and have moved on and made peace with their birth.
See our article “feelings after a Caesarean ” to gain further insights into the possible impact from a caesarean birth. These insights may help you plan a better experience next time around.
