1. Trust your healthcare provider.
Healthcare providers and birth settings with low rates of intervention are so important when planning for a vaginal delivery.

You must talk to your doctor about his or her view on C-Section, infection, risk factors, and ability to help Mom change positions for a safe and healthy vaginal delivery.

Ask your doctor about his or her philosophy on C-Sections and his Cesarean Section rate. Make sure you ask about rate of primary C-Sections. This means first time Moms, not repeat C-Section rate. Their primary C-Section rate should be less than 10% for first time moms.

Take time to call the hospital where you are going to deliver and ask about on-call doctors and their C-Section rates. Get the low-down! You want to know about the people that will be “making” the decision on delivery day.

And PLEASE don’t feel like you are stuck with your doctor. If he or she does not line up with your birth plan, or if he/she has a high C-Section rate, then go find another doctor. I am not kidding. You need to trust your doctor and feel safe in his/her care.

2. Get educated.
Information means more power to you. This means having enough of a foundation to visualize and plan how you want your pregnancy, labor, and delivery to happen in a realistic way. You need to create a flexible birth plan and discuss this plan with your doctor or midwife.

Get educated about birth by taking a childbirth class (I recommend online), reading books, and asking a lot of questions: “Do I want a natural birth or epidural? Who is going to be my support person? Where do I want to be when labor progresses? Etc.”

Now is the time to take steps to get what you want.

Here are some stepping stones to prevent an unnecessary C-Section.

Stay at home until you are in active labor to decrease C-Section risk by 50%.
Active labor means that your cervix is dilated to at least 5 cm. How do you know? Your contraction interval will be less than 5 minutes between each contraction. Each contraction will last 60-90 seconds. You will be in severe pain to the point of not being able to talk through each contraction. You will know.

Choosing no epidural.
Epidurals in and of themselves do not increase your risk for C-Section. BUT epidurals means that you are on bedrest in the hospital, and epidurals will slow down labor.

Your baby has electric fetal monitoring on for an extended period of time, and that does increase your risk for C-Section because the doctors don’t like to see your baby’s heart rate “decel”.

The monitor is showing your baby’s heart rate decrease (and then return to normal) for an extended period of time. This is a normal process, but it makes the doctors nervous when they are dealing with life and lawsuits.

Stay away from unnecessary interventions.
Interventions such as induction of labor increases your risk for C-Section. Induction means that we are synthetically initiating the progression of labor. WHY? Maybe you are past your due date, your husband or the doctor is going out of town, or baby is measuring too big/small.

The doctor is trying to make the baby come “now”. This may mean medication placed in your vagina, Pitocin IV in your arm, breaking your bag of waters, etc.

Example of how interventions increase your risk for C-Section: your bag of waters is broken, but your cervix does not open and soften like the doctor wanted it to open. You are waiting for labor to progress, and it has been more than 24 hours. Your baby is now at increased risk for infection. So, the doctor decides that you need a C-Section.

3. Labor support.
Labor support means that you have someone by your side coaching you towards a successful vaginal delivery with no epidural. This person has been with you through your pregnancy, he knows what you need in time of pain and stress, and he has practiced labor with you.

You may not want your husband as your coach, but you need someone who knows you well.

Studies show that women with continuous support during labor are 26% less likely to have a C-Section!

Practice different laboring and pushing positions that work for you as this helps labor progress.
