Cesarean birth is a major abdominal surgery and it can be a gentle birth too.
➜ The baby can be slowly helped to be born with the head emerging first, then shoulders, abdomen, and then legs – in a similar way as a vaginal birth.
➜ Music, dim lights, lowered clear screen, skin-to-skin, breastfeeding, optimal cord clamping can all be a part of a gentle Cesarean birth.
