This week on the podcast I am on solo for you all talking about C-section vs. vaginal birth. I’m sorry if you hear some background noise today, it always seems like whenever I’m recording a podcast episode, my neighbor wants to cut his grass. It’s literally a joke like it happens ALL THE TIME.

But yeah, today we are talking about C-section vs. vaginal birth, and kind of how the two compare. I’ll be debunking common myths surrounding C-sections, and looking at the pros and cons between the two types of birth.

One of the big takeaways is how we’re led to believe that vaginal delivery is ALWAYS the better choice, which is NOT always true you guys, and I explain why in this episode.

We’re also going to discuss emergency C-sections and why they happen, how the recovery between these two types of birth compare, and more!

For the show notes this week, I decided to give you guys a round-up of other resources to help educate you on this topic:

Mama and baby’s safety during birth is ALWAYS what matters most

At the end of the day, no matter how you give birth – your and baby’s safety is what matters most. Shame, disappointment, or regret surrounding birth is something I try to help mamas let go of.

There is no perfect birth, there is only your unique experience. Flexibility and an open mind to your birth process can help you have your positive, even better birth – no matter how you deliver.
