Cesarean

CesareanOver twenty percent of babies in the USA are born by cesarean section surgery. C-section can be anything from a scheduled operation planned well in advance to a shocking emergency necessity (with little time to prepare) to a welcome relief after a long and difficult labor. Even if you don't expect to need a cesarean, learning about this common operation can help you get ready for any eventuality.
