Jen and Bethany explore how breath work and breathing techniques can support women before, during, and after a C-section. They break down how methods like Lamaze and hypnobirthing, often associated with vaginal birth, can be adapted to the c-section experience to reduce anxiety, promote calm, and enhance a sense of control.

They discuss:
How breath work can reduce preoperative anxiety and help during c-section recovery
The basics of Lamaze breathing and how to use it in the OR
How hypnobirthing techniques like deep breathing and positive affirmations can be calming even during surgical birth
The role of partners in supporting breathing and emotional regulation
Why breathing can feel strange or difficult during a c-section due to spinal anesthesia, and how to manage that sensation
Practical tips for integrating breath work into both the surgical birth itself and postpartum healing

Whether you’re planning a scheduled C-section, preparing for the possibility of one, or recovering from a prior experience, this episode offers simple, non-pharmacologic tools to help you breathe easier.
