For Pregnant People
Before you leave the hospital, your physician or midwife should talk with you about why you had a Caesarean birth and what your options are for future births. They should give you this information in a written report (see Definitions section). They should also talk about this at your 6-week follow-up appointment.
For Clinicians
Have a discussion with people who have had a Caesarean birth and provide written information about the reasons for their Caesarean birth and their options for future births.
For Health Services
Ensure that systems, resources, and training are available for physicians and midwives to have discussions and provide written information about the reasons for Caesarean births and options for future births.
