CAESAREAN PREVENTION


Wednesday, January 30
from 7:00 to 8:30pm
at the Athens Library


Join Claudia Bashaw CD(DONA), and Catherine Lachman PCD(DONA) to discuss some of the tools a woman can use to prevent giving birth via Caesarean section.  They will offer suggestions for things you can do prenatally, as well as those you can do during labor to minimize the chances of having a C-section.  They will also briefly discuss some situations where this type of birth is necessary for the safety of the mother and child.
