Avoid a Cesarean: Questions for Your Caregiver

One of your first goals is to find a caregiver with whom you feel comfortable and who shares your philosophy of birth. Your caregiver should respect your wishes and will agree not to override your decisions even if she or he would personally choose something else.

These facts are presented by the International Cesarean Awareness Network with the hope that parents, childbirth educators, doulas, nurses, midwives and doctors together can effectively reduce the rate of unnecessary cesarean sections and their effects.
