Elective C – section

We saw  on the news this morning about the new government changes in the way women can choose to give birth.  Women will now be able to choose to have a C – Section if they can justify the reason.  We believe that such a decision should be thought through carefully, balancing the benefits against the risks and dangers of surgery.

We have found a video on the NHS website that may be useful in making this important decision.  Watch it HERE. We highly recommend that you discuss your options with your midwife to ensure your making the best decision for you.
