Abstract

As the incidence of cesarean deliveries has increased, so, too, has professional concern for the psychological well–being of cesarean families. The authors of the following article have pioneered the country's first method for prepared cesarean childbirth, called the Cesarean Birth Method, a comprehensive approach for enhancing the childbirth experiences of cesarean families. In this article they discuss the philosophy of their work and present the details of their method, which consists of two approaches, one that anticipates, in prenatal care and education, the possibility of emergency cesarean births, and one of classes designed specifically for elective and repeat cesarean births. For both approaches, the method includes guidelines for intrapartum and postpartum nursing support.
