How do you prepare for a cesarean birth and recover in a way that truly supports your body and mind?

In this episode, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Leah break down the many reasons behind cesarean versus vaginal birth, including when a cesarean is medically necessary and when it may be influenced by modern medical practices.

We walk through how to prepare if you know you are having a planned cesarean, as well as what to focus on in the critical moments leading up to an unexpected cesarean.

Dr. Leah shares her personal experience of a home birth that transitioned into a cesarean and how shifting her mindset helped her find peace and empowerment during the experience.

We also dive into postpartum recovery after a cesarean, including practical tips for healing, supporting your body, and navigating the emotional aspects that can come with this type of birth.

Whether you are preparing for a cesarean, hoping to avoid one, or healing from a past experience, this episode will give you tools, perspective, and support.
