Know your options, take control

  • Birthing Misconceptions
    • You can have as many cesareans as you want
    • If you have a cesarean once, you must have another one
    • Cesareans are easier for the mom
    • Cesareans are less painful than vaginal birth
    • Labour pain is unbearable and can’t be managed
    • I have no control over my labour; it’s up to the health professionals
    • I’m small and the baby seems so big, so I can’t have a normal vaginal birth
    • If the baby is in the breech position, I have to have a cesarean
    • If I go past my baby’s due date, the labour will have to be induced
    • If I have a high-risk pregnancy, a cesarean is best
  • Types of Birth
    • Normal Vaginal Birth
    • Assisted Vaginal Birth
    • Cesarean Birth
      • Elective Cesarean Section
    • Vaginal Birth After Cesarean
    • If Your Baby is Breech
