1,173,746 cesarean births.
About a third of all births in the U.S.
Let’s be clear—
Cesareans can be necessary, important, and life-saving.
But they’re also major abdominal surgery.
And too many people walk into birth not fully understanding when, why, or if it’s truly needed.
You’re allowed to ask questions.
You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to know your options.
Because if you don’t know your options… you don’t really have any.
Whether your baby is born vaginally or via cesarean, you deserve to feel informed and supported the whole way through.
That’s the work.
