Product Description
Product Description
Childbirth is a life-altering experience for any woman, but a Cesarean delivery can be overwhelming, whether it’s unexpected or planned. Despite the fact that roughly one in four babies in the United States is delivered by c-section, very little information about the experience is included in typical pregnancy books and physicians and childbirth educators often gloss over the details.
The Essential C-Section Guide is written not only for women to read in preparation for a scheduled c-section and for those considered “high risk” who know that a c-section may become necessary but also for women recovering from an unexpected surgical delivery. This book provides answers to important questions about what the surgery entails, what a woman can expect as she recovers, and what considerations should be made for future pregnancies and deliveries.
With frank discussions about the physical and emotional aspects surrounding a c-section, the authors share comforting wisdom about early bonding, pain control, breastfeeding, infant care, healing from surgery, postpartum exercise, partner involvement, and much more, in detail not available anywhere else.
Written by authors who have firsthand knowledge of birth by c-section, The Essential C-Section Guide is well-researched and addresses its unique concerns with intelligence and compassion.

Format:Paperback
Having recently had a C-section I was keen to have lots of questions answered and found only very brief articles on the internet, which were not detailed enough. I ordered this book thinking it would give much fuller information but I actually found it little better than what you can get by googling c-section. It certainly did not give me everything I wanted to know about a Caesarean birth, I had lots of unanswered questions still.
I also noted that the authors are not encouraging about VBAC, particularly not home births.
Generally I was disappointed in this book.

Great book for physical and mental recovery from c-section
22 April 2005
Format:Paperback
I had a planned c-section and found this book to be very helpful, especially the exercize plan for recovery. The book provides a nice description of the proceedure, but it is the chapters on emotional impacts of c-section and information for your partner really set it apart. It is nice that the book covers both planned and unplanned c-sections. It is nice that the authors provide warnings before content that may be upsetting so that you can decide whether or not to read that section. I have recommended the book to several friends and they all said that the book helped them with their recoveries as well.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have had two c-sections and in the past and I am about to have another. I thought I knew everything about how to handle pain and all of the problems that go with the surgery but this book has shown me things that I did not know. This is a great book! It is very informative and I really learned alot by reading it!

The only C-section reference you need
25 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I tend to be a person who is not satisfied with just one source of information and do extensive research on every subject that I am educating myself on. After looking at many different books and resources, I can honestly say that this is the only book that you need to prepare you for your c-section. This comprehensive reference provides thorough information while maintaining a humanistic approach to the subject matter. This book contains a whole chapter on the emotional aspects of having a cesarean which I found to be very helpful, since it is something that is not usually addressed. On top of the information included to aid you in your physical recovery there is another chapter with workout information when you are ready for that. I would have paid twice the price I did for this truly "essential" resource
