  <description><![CDATA[<p>Childbirth is a life-altering experience for any woman, but a Cesarean delivery can be overwhelming, whether it&#8217;s unexpected or planned. Despite the fact that roughly one in four babies in the United States is delivered by c-section, very little information about the experience is included in typical pregnancy books and physicians and childbirth educators often gloss over the details.<br/><br/><em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is written not only for women to read in preparation for a scheduled c-section and for those considered &#8220;high risk&#8221; who know that a c-section may become necessary but also for women recovering from an unexpected surgical delivery. This book provides answers to important questions about what the surgery entails, what a woman can expect as she recovers, and what considerations should be made for future pregnancies and deliveries.<br/><br/>With frank discussions about the physical and emotional aspects surrounding a c-section, the authors share comforting wisdom about early bonding, pain control, breastfeeding, infant care, healing from surgery, postpartum exercise, partner involvement, and much more, in detail not available anywhere else.<br/><br/>Written by authors who have firsthand knowledge of birth by c-section, <em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is well-researched and addresses its unique concerns with intelligence and compassion.<br/><br/><br/>www.broadwaybooks.com</p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[With the world going green the movement has been toward &quot;natural&quot; birth and anti C-Section. It is refreshing to have a book that doesn't force its view upon you but gives you detailed information and personal stories to work with.

    <![CDATA[<p>Childbirth is a life-altering experience for any woman, but a Cesarean delivery can be overwhelming, whether it&#8217;s unexpected or planned. Despite the fact that roughly one in four babies in the United States is delivered by c-section, very little information about the experience is included in typical pregnancy books and physicians and childbirth educators often gloss over the details.<br/><br/><em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is written not only for women to read in preparation for a scheduled c-section and for those considered &#8220;high risk&#8221; who know that a c-section may become necessary but also for women recovering from an unexpected surgical delivery. This book provides answers to important questions about what the surgery entails, what a woman can expect as she recovers, and what considerations should be made for future pregnancies and deliveries.<br/><br/>With frank discussions about the physical and emotional aspects surrounding a c-section, the authors share comforting wisdom about early bonding, pain control, breastfeeding, infant care, healing from surgery, postpartum exercise, partner involvement, and much more, in detail not available anywhere else.<br/><br/>Written by authors who have firsthand knowledge of birth by c-section, <em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is well-researched and addresses its unique concerns with intelligence and compassion.<br/><br/><br/>www.broadwaybooks.com</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Childbirth is a life-altering experience for any woman, but a Cesarean delivery can be overwhelming, whether it&#8217;s unexpected or planned. Despite the fact that roughly one in four babies in the United States is delivered by c-section, very little information about the experience is included in typical pregnancy books and physicians and childbirth educators often gloss over the details.<br/><br/><em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is written not only for women to read in preparation for a scheduled c-section and for those considered &#8220;high risk&#8221; who know that a c-section may become necessary but also for women recovering from an unexpected surgical delivery. This book provides answers to important questions about what the surgery entails, what a woman can expect as she recovers, and what considerations should be made for future pregnancies and deliveries.<br/><br/>With frank discussions about the physical and emotional aspects surrounding a c-section, the authors share comforting wisdom about early bonding, pain control, breastfeeding, infant care, healing from surgery, postpartum exercise, partner involvement, and much more, in detail not available anywhere else.<br/><br/>Written by authors who have firsthand knowledge of birth by c-section, <em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is well-researched and addresses its unique concerns with intelligence and compassion.<br/><br/><br/>www.broadwaybooks.com</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Childbirth is a life-altering experience for any woman, but a Cesarean delivery can be overwhelming, whether it&#8217;s unexpected or planned. Despite the fact that roughly one in four babies in the United States is delivered by c-section, very little information about the experience is included in typical pregnancy books and physicians and childbirth educators often gloss over the details.<br/><br/><em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is written not only for women to read in preparation for a scheduled c-section and for those considered &#8220;high risk&#8221; who know that a c-section may become necessary but also for women recovering from an unexpected surgical delivery. This book provides answers to important questions about what the surgery entails, what a woman can expect as she recovers, and what considerations should be made for future pregnancies and deliveries.<br/><br/>With frank discussions about the physical and emotional aspects surrounding a c-section, the authors share comforting wisdom about early bonding, pain control, breastfeeding, infant care, healing from surgery, postpartum exercise, partner involvement, and much more, in detail not available anywhere else.<br/><br/>Written by authors who have firsthand knowledge of birth by c-section, <em>The Essential C-Section Guide</em> is well-researched and addresses its unique concerns with intelligence and compassion.<br/><br/><br/>www.broadwaybooks.com</p>]]>
