Caesarean operation

In this lesson, we will study the Caesarean operation, focusing on the knowledge and support that birth companions can provide to expectant mothers who have chosen or require this procedure. It is crucial to emphasise that the decision to undergo a Caesarean section is solely the woman's choice, and our role as birth companions is to offer unwavering support, understanding, and assistance throughout this journey.

Throughout this lesson, we will provide you with essential insights into the Caesarean section procedure, recovery, emotional support, and advocacy. Our aim is to equip you with the information and skills necessary to be a source of comfort and empowerment for the mother during the Caesarean operation, always respecting her autonomy and choices.

Let's begin by exploring the key aspects of the Caesarean operation and how you, as a birth companion, can play a vital role in ensuring a positive and informed experience for the woman you are supporting.
