Product Description

Review

“If you are a patient who has had or is about to have a Cesarean delivery, this comprehensive book will explain it all for you in a clear, concise, and accurate manner.” —William Camann, M.D., director of obstetric anesthesia at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and professor of anesthesia at Harvard Medical School

"A most excellent, comprehensive source for just about any aspect of anticipating or recovering from Cesarean birth. It’s almost as good as having an experienced girlfriend in the hospital bed next to you. Take all the hospital days your insurance will give you, rest, nurse your baby and read this book.” —Peg Moline, Fit Pregnancy

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The must read book for all c-section moms, Jul 9 2004

By A Customer

I am so happy that this book was published! The amazing fact is that 1 in 4 births are c-sections; however, this is rarely shared in birthing classes. Doctors and nurses also have difficulty understanding the emotional strain, let alone the physical pain. This book is the first I've seen that covers pain control, healing, what happens during the surgery, and getting your body back. Like most women, my first c-section was an emergency. I felt uneducated and ill equipped to find any helpful resources. I wish someone had passed this book onto me then! I feel that this book needs to be on every doctor's book shelf and then given to women to read before or after their c-section.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had this book after my first c-section!, Jul 8 2004

By A Customer

My first baby was born after an emergency c-section -- I had "planned" on a natural childbirth! I was so unprepared for the experience that it took me months to get over it. With my second one, the c-section was planned so I wanted to know what to expect. I couldn't find a book out there and my pregnancy books barely covered the topic.

Now I'm pregnant with my third and know I'll be having another c-section so I am thrilled that there is finally a book to help me. The Essential C-Section Guide is amazing -- it's so easy to read and the authors really explain everything you need to know about c-sections. I especially appreciated the information on breastfeeding and the exercise chapters are awesome. Reading a full description of the surgery also helped me make some sense of what had happened to me -- and now I know exactly what to expect.

3.0 out of 5 stars I can't buy it
I'm not buying this book because I cannot see the inside.

And as for the three stars, why isn't there an option for n/a for the stars? I can't send this review without it.
