Happy 99th birthday to my sweet grandmother! It’s an honor to follow your footsteps in supporting women during birth.

Sometimes you can’t choose and you will deliver your baby through a planned C-section. I asked moms to share their experience and if they had any advice on how to prepare. Let me know if you like to add anything 🤗!

• ⁠Build trust with the medical team that will support your birth
• ⁠Focus on what you can control
• ⁠Make a plan and put it in your medical files so there is no discussion on the birth day
• ⁠Healing is easier after a planned c-section in comparison to an emergency c-section
• ⁠Have conversations with your doctor about fears and wishes
• ⁠What does a gentle c-section look like in your hospital?
• ⁠Expectation management- discuss the birth step by step - who is there for every step and how long does it take
• ⁠When - how many hours - after birth can you go home?
• ⁠How long before procedure is it not possible to eat/drink?

Is it possible to
• seeing baby be born?
• ⁠half lotus birth? (Umbilical cord not cut before placenta is born)
• ⁠mother assisted birth?
• ⁠baby immediately on chest? Skin to skin?
• ⁠Can baby stay with mama?
• ⁠Play music?
• ⁠Doula in the OR?
• ⁠Take baby out slowly?
• ⁠Mother to dry off baby?
• ⁠Bring your own hat for baby?
• ⁠Cordring instead of clamp?
• ⁠Who cuts the cord?
• ⁠Can doula take pictures/ video?
• ⁠Who will stay with mom at all times?
• ⁠Can doula stay if husband and baby need to leave?

Things to make it nicer:
- Doing it as a team. Parents and baby together welcoming life earthside.
- ⁠Affirmation cards
- ⁠Write/ say welcome message to baby
- ⁠Bring fairy lights, aroma diffuser, snacks, to make the room cozier (not the OR but where you stay afterwards)
- ⁠Looking at the images together afterwards to process the birth experience
- ⁠Calling it belly birth instead of c-section
- ⁠Bring something for fun in case you need to wait a long time.

May 5th is International Day of the Midwife. As a doula I’m in awe of the work that midwives do. Their knowledge to guide safe childbirth amazes me; at home or in the hospital (or the occasional birth in the car). I see how they handle critical situations and how they are committed to giving families the best birth experiences.

In The Netherlands it’s normal to have your pregnancy and birth monitored by a midwife. There are midwives that work together in a practice and caseload midwives who work more independently. It’s important to find a midwife that matches your view on childbirth.

Midwives and doulas work together. We each have our own focus in the different stages of labour, birth and postpartum. I’ve had many positive experiences working together with midwives but a special shoutout to .hmc , , , , and .

Who was your midwife? Drop them a ❤️ in the comments
