Krystle and Amy are back together to bring you today’s episode, 5 things you didn’t know you could ask for during a c-section! Krystle is not only our Expecting and Empowered in-house Physical Therapy expert, but is a three-time cesarean birth mama, making her a wealth of knowledge about the c-sections. Krystle is going to walk us through today’s 5 things to help you feel more prepared and feel empowered to collaborate with your care team to create a positive c-section birthing experience. Whether you have a planned c-section or unplanned, educating yourself about the options can help select what things you’d like to include to make your c-section birth special to you and your baby. The 5 things we will cover today walk you through the whole experience: things you can ask for before your c-section, things you can ask for during, as well as something to ask for to help with after your c-section while you are healing. 

If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @expectingandempowered. As we like to say, knowledge is power, and we just really want to give more people the information that they may need on their childbirth journey!
