10 easy ways to avoid cesarean and reduce your cesarean risk.<\/h1>\n

Here are our top 10 tips to stack the deck for an uneventful vaginal delivery.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prepare yourself, take a comprehensive hospital childbirth class<\/a>, and learn your choices. Don\u2019t take a standard class and get a standard education.<\/li>\n
  2. Practice good body mechanics throughout your pregnancy. An aligned mother equals an aligned baby.<\/li>\n
  3. Have a supportive and educated labor partner. Your partner is your anchor. No matter how wonderful your birth team is they cannot replace the love and security you have from your partner.<\/li>\n
  4. Let the baby come when they are ready, and avoid unnecessary inductions and subsequent interventions.<\/li>\n
  5. Build a tool kit of coping methods and practice them. Relaxation is the cornerstone of spontaneous birth.<\/li>\n
  6. Labor at home as long as possible with provider permission when applicable.<\/li>\n
  7. Avoid continuous monitoring when at your birthplace if possible. If continuous monitoring is necessary ask for wireless monitoring to facilitate coping skills.<\/li>\n
  8. Use medications and interventions wisely. There are many tools for labor and they all have their place. However, once we use a tool as anything but as an assistant then it becomes an intervention.<\/li>\n
  9. Labor upright and change positions frequently whenever possible. An active mother is an active baby.<\/li>\n
  10. Hire a professional Doula<\/a><\/b> <\/b>to assist you in your birth<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
