This has happened to all of us. You are walking out of a store pushing your groceries with one arm, carrying the baby in the other, and talking to your mother-in-law on the phone describing down to the last detail exactly how much and how often you are feeding the baby play for play and defending your reasons why you just.. aren't into cohabitive sleeping.. when... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! You stand with your mouth half gaping open at the lights and bells while people all around you stare at you like you are a common criminal.

Cesearean Section or C-section birth, photo by Fernando AUDIBERT You were just told your baby will be delivered by cesarean (c-section) and you are scared to death.  Don't be! I was pregnant with my first child and the doctor gave what I thought at the time was horrifying news.  The baby was breach and would not turn so the doctor said he would have to be delivered by cesarean.  Prior to the birth of my son, I had never had surgery performed or ever had to stay in the hospital.  Just the thought of giving birth scared me but now I was told I would have to have a c-section.  Find out what is involved with having a c-section birth.
