Baby on the way?
or Having a Planned Caesarean?
We can't always control the birth experience we have, but we can prepare ourselves with knowledge, wisdom & practical steps we can take to improve our postpartum experience.
During 2020, 29.8% of all births in New Zealand were via Caesarean AND 60% of these were Emergency Caesareans (EC). (EC = Decision to have a Caesarean made during active labour).
With increasing rates of Caesarean Sections, we wanted to make sure that families were empowered with what they CAN do to improve the healing & rehabilitation throughout their Caesarean Journey.
It's time to stop having to guess what to do to improve your recovery and get equipped.
