Family-centered Caesarean Section

Caesarean sections, or C sections, are performed for a variety of reasons, the vast majority of which should be for medical necessity. When a C section is planned in advance (for things like pre-eclamptic symptoms or uncontrolled gestational diabetes) many things can be done to make the birth more enjoyable and provide more benefits to mother and baby. This video beautifully demonstrates how making small adjustments to what has been done as a "standard" in the operating room can make a  Caesarean birth more family-centered.
