Cesareans birth is a major surgery, and as with all surgeries it caries risks. But this is one risk of having a surgical birth I wasn't aware of.
The cesarean rate in our city is hovering close to 30%, while the World Health Organization advises that cesarean rates should not exceed 10-15% of all births. So about half of all moms who have a cesarean delivery have been unnecessarily put at risk of suffering a post partum stroke.
The International Cesarean Awareness Network is an invaluable resource in learning what you can do to avoid a cesarean.
