What are the benefits for women who plan C-section?
- Cesarean birth is
scheduled in advance. - Mothers can plan maternity leave, home care and childcare.
- Women who have already experienced one Cesarean know what to expect during recovery and can plan for extra help when they go home.
- If you stay awake during surgery you can cuddle up skin to skin and feed your baby if you choose.
- Planned Cesarean carries less surgical risk than a Cesarean done during labor;
- Separation or tearing of the uterine scar is much less likely to occur with planned Cesarean.
