Summary: The must read book for all c-section moms
Review: I am so happy that this book was published! The amazing fact is that 1 in 4 births are c-sections; however, this is rarely shared in birthing classes. Doctors and nurses also have difficulty understanding the emotional strain, let alone the physical pain. This book is the first I've seen that covers pain control, healing, what happens during the surgery, and getting your body back. Like most women, my first c-section was an emergency. I felt uneducated and ill equipped to find any helpful resources. I wish someone had passed this book onto me then! I feel that this book needs to be on every doctor's book shelf and then given to women to read before or after their c-section.

In the meantime, you may want to check out our website. www.csectionguide.com, to read some online excerpts. If you like what you see, you can order the book direct from amazon. Thanks!

Summary: I wish I had this book after my first c-section!
Review: My first baby was born after an emergency c-section -- I had "planned" on a natural childbirth! I was so unprepared for the experience that it took me months to get over it. With my second one, the c-section was planned so I wanted to know what to expect. I couldn't find a book out there and my pregnancy books barely covered the topic. Now I'm pregnant with my third and know I'll be having another c-section so I am thrilled that there is finally a book to help me. This book is amazing -- it's so easy to read and the authors really explain everything you need to know about c-sections. I especially appreciated the information on breastfeeding and the exercise chapters are awesome. Reading a full description of the surgery also helped me make some sense of what had happened to me -- and now I know exactly what to expect.

Summary: This is a Must Read for all New Moms and Moms To Be!
Review: My motto is , be prepared! When you're pregnant, you probably hope for a vaginal birth, but you never know. Prepare yourself ahead of time, just in case you might require a c-section. As your pregnancy evolves, the reality of a cesarean delivery may emerge. I had a few minor complications early in my pregnancy that led me to believe I might require a c-section. I read this book to educate myself about cesarean delivery. This book is the most comprehensive c-section resource available! It covered procedural aspects of the surgery, potential complications, and the How To's of recovery both in the hospital and at home. This book also dedicates a chapter to answering any questions your partner might have about the surgery. As it turned out, I did not require a c-section, but I am so glad I read this book and prepared myself, just in case!

Summary: Excellent resource on cesearean birth
Review: This is one of the few books that specifically focuses on cesarean birth -- specifically preparing for and recovering from a cesearean. The authors have done a fabulous job of considering the physical and emotional issues related to both planned and unplanned cesareans. They've also considered breastfeeding, future pregnancies, and other related issues. This is an excellent book that I will be recommending to the parents that I work with.
