Serene Cesarean

Serene Cesarean

This Serene Cesarean plan is designed for expectant mothers planning a cesarean birth, whether scheduled or with a trial of labor. It outlines preferences for anesthesia, birth atmosphere, and specific experiences during the birth, ensuring a personalized and informed cesarean birth experience.

Key features include:

• Options for anesthesia preferences, including spinal and general anesthesia
• Detailed birth atmosphere preferences, such as having a partner or doula present, allowing photographs, and choosing calming music
• Specific birth experience choices, like having one arm free, using a clear drape to watch the birth, and opting for a slow and gentle delivery
• Comprehensive immediate postpartum care options, including skin-to-skin contact in the OR or recovery, delayed cord clamping, and the golden hour
• Newborn care and procedures preferences, such as feeding methods, visits with a lactation consultant, and decisions about newborn procedures like eye cream and vaccines

This plan ensures that the mother's preferences are clearly communicated and respected while prioritizing the health and safety of both mother and baby. It serves as a comprehensive communication tool for the birthing team, helping to create a supportive and positive cesarean birth experience.
