"Empowering Self-Participation in C-Sections: A Revolutionary Approach"
Maternal-assisted caesarean, a practice where a woman actively participates in her own c-section, is gaining attention as a way to make the birth experience more satisfying and meaningful for mothers. By removing the drape that separates the patient's head and chest from the lower half of her body, the woman can watch the surgery and reach down to lift her baby out of her abdomen. While not common, this procedure allows women to feel more involved and in control of their birth experience, although it requires careful preparation and consideration of safety risks.
