The ultimate guide to feeling informed and empowered

The rate of caesarean births is rising, yet too many women receive little to no support or information about them. This book is a practical, comprehensive guide that will arm you with everything you need to feel fully confident and empowered.

Drawing on 15+ years of experience as a pelvic health physiotherapist, Clare Bourne offers expert guidance, tips and tools, including:

• Different types of caesarean, both planned and unplanned, and what to expect
• Your right to make choices about your care
• Caring for a baby who needs to be in the NICU
• The road to recovery, from wound care to returning to movement in a safe way

With sections about how to talk to your healthcare practitioner, advice on looking after older children as you recover, and help relating to and caring for your scar, this is the book every caesarean parent needs on their bedside table.
