A Caesarean section, also known as C-section or caesarean delivery, is the surgical procedure by which one or more babies are delivered through an incision in the delivering persons abdomen, often performed because vaginal delivery would put the baby or mother at risk.
Having a C-Section is no joke -- and it’s definitely not a “quick and easy” way to have a baby. If you’ve had one, we definitely don’t need to tell you this! What we are here to tell you, though, is what you can do to heal from it. Lets review 5 tips for optimal recovery after a cesarean.

How do you prepare for the big day? After all you don’t want to step into that experience full of fear due to the unknown or anxiety due to low confidence surrounding birth and your bodies ability. Learn five things you can do to prepare for childbirth right now.
One of the first things our Tampa doulas at One Love Doula Services do during the labor process is remind clients to breathe! Breathing is one of the most important techniques you can do to ease pain, distress, and anxiety during labor. Controlled breathing brings extra oxygen to the uterus, muscles, and your baby. It resets the nervous system from a phase of fight/flight to rest/digest, and it regulates you and your baby’s nervous system.
The journey of pregnancy is filled with ups and downs, countless decisions, and hours upon hours of research in preparation for one of the most life changing days one could ever experience- the birth of your baby. With so many resources out there designed to help make this journey as seamless as possible, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

One of the first things we have to tell you as Tampa professional doulas is that we know that the main thing that brings new parents joy is….when their baby poops! Trust us, it’s a thing: you will never be so happy to see poop than when a new parent.
A birthing center is a free standing healthcare facility, often staffed by nurse midwives and midwives for people in labor, who may be assisted by doulas and coaches. Birth centers provide a home-like, non-medical setting for pregnancy, labor, and birth. The midwives monitor the labor and well-being of the mother and fetus during birth.
You and your partner have had the talk, and decided it is time. How exciting! Pregnancy is a joyous event in one’s life that also comes with a lot of questions and worries about the unknown. We are here to help!
