About this listen
✨Mini-Series: What the Unmedicated Girlie Needs to know about Cesarean ✨ part 1
April is Cesarean Awareness Month — but the truth is, we need to be having this conversation all year long. Why? Because 1 in 3 births in the U.S. end in cesarean… and many of them happen after a mom has already labored unmedicated all the way to 10 cm.
In this episode, we’re talking about a trend I’m seeing more and more:🛑 Cesareans being called during the second stage of labor — during pushing.
You did all the prep. You avoided the epidural. You got to 10 cm. And then… surgery?
Let’s talk about why this is happening — and how to prevent it when it’s not truly necessary.
This episode covers:
✨ The common mistake moms make when planning for unmedicated birth, it's more than pain management
💥 The two most common reasons for second stage cesareans
🧠 Why certain interventions increase the risk of cesarean
💡 The truth about ACOG’s guidelines for when a cesarean is appropriate
