A cesarean section does not need to be a cold, quick, anxiety-provoking, and/or inhumane procedure. It is still a birth! It can be worth it to spend time planning for a c-section in a way that prepares you and your baby to have a very special, gentle experience. One of the ways that HypnoBirthing can help is by incorporating relaxation and visualization into the birth room--even if it is in the OR. You can also advocate for immediate, uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact with your baby and immediate breastfeeding.
This is not selfish! It is best for the baby, if it is possible. It is not always convenient for hospital/OR staff, but here is a video that shows some of these ideas. I hope it helps you, or someone you know, plan for a more gentle, natural, or mother-friendly/baby-friendly cesarean section:
