This ep of The Kick we cover the pros and cons of both vaginal and Caesarean birth.

This is a very chatty episode because the answer is…nuanced.

The first question we delve into is why someone would ask this question?

We talk about:

A medical indication where a Caesarean section is suggested.
A history of trauma, or fear surrounding vaginal birth.
Concern about sexual function after vaginal birth
Maybe a birth story has made someone think ‘nope, not for me.’
Or they feel a planned Caesarean section seems more manageable.
