C-section moms benefit immensely from the support of birth and postpartum #doulas. If you're expecting/planning surgery...build your team!

Kayla talks about having a birth doula if you're having a c-section... great advice. https://t.co/0PjcesaKnz

[C-Section News @C_SectionNews]

Apply this principle to preparing for birth & watch c-section rates drop. https://t.co/lSPLt0xx8p

@C_SectionNews 100%. The term "gentle #c-section" is highly deceptive...covering old, cruel practices & disguising risks with current ones.

[C-Section News @C_SectionNews]

Yes, we should work on making #c-sections more humane, but PRIMARY focus should be on reducing unnecessary interventions that increase risks

[C-Section News @C_SectionNews]

Term "Gentle C-section" means doing things that should've been done all along & will serve to further acceptance of abusive #c-section rates

[Breastfeeding & #NIP @NIPmama]

New mothers, #BF mothers: Care for your baby the best you know how & can. It is NEVER offensive. It's our duty and blessing to get to. #NIP

[Breastfeeding & #NIP @NIPmama]

That caring naturally for a baby (feeding!) & "offensive" are ever used together shows how damaged our society is. #breastfeeding #NIP

[Pat Jurgens @PatJurgens]

Moms raving about #naturalbirth are smug or bragging? Not even close. They're helping society remember that birth is normal, not a sickness.

[Sunny Wang @happydoula]

The #evidence is in: forcing #birth interventions on the great majority of laboring moms who DON'T need it is DOING HARM. #HippocraticOath

[C-Section News @C_SectionNews]

An OB saying "the baby doesn't want to come out this way" is offensive on many levels. In majority cases, she WILL if left alone. #c-section

[C-Section News @C_SectionNews]

"90% of breech born in hospitals are C-section" & midwives catch them naturally all the time http://t.co/hsfzUolReQ Interview by @AllieChee
