About the Book

An award-winning health writer answers all the questions a pregnant mom may have about this increasingly performed procedure-now used in nearly one in every four births Thirty years ago, 1 in 20 babies was born by a c-section. Today that number has swelled to almost 1 in 4. Yet despite the steep rise in C-sections, there are very few books available to help moms-to-be sort out their options, allay their fears, and navigate their way through this serious and emotionally complex procedure. Rita Rubin, USA Today's medical reporter, tells women: - The main reason Cesareans are performed - Exactly what the procedure entails - How to communicate with their doctors-to insure the birth experience they want - Strategies that will help them recover from the surgery quickly and relatively painlessly - How to decide whether to have an elective C-section-and how to cope should surgery be medically necessary - How to sort out the controversy about VBAC-Vaginal Birth After C-section Whether the reader is considering choosing an elective C-section, worrying about what she will face should she need one, or recovering in the days after her delivery, she'll find the facts in this unbiased, authoritative, reassuring guide-along with steps she can take to make the birth of her child the healthiest, most joyous occasion possible.

Review :
"This book is chock full of accurate and important information about c-sections. Rubin's writing style and sense of humor makes for an easy and enjoyable read. It's a must-read for all women who are or plan to be pregnant, and all those who love them." --Catherine De Angelis, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of the American Medical Association "Excellent reading...highly informative and clinically accurate...the best lay text I have ever seen on the subject or any other medical condition for that matter." --Carolyn M Zelop, MD, Director of Maternal Fetal Medicine, St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, CT "Rita Rubin has given all expectant mothers a wonderful shower gift-a practical, concise yet comprehensive book on Cesarean delivery. Having observed first hand Rubin's journalistic skill, objectivity and thoroughness in covering women's health issues, I am not at all surprised by the excellence of this book." --Charles J. Lockwood, MD, Chair, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University School of Medicine "The current rise in the popularity of caesarian delivery demands an unbiased and informed look at the risks and benefits of this major surgical procedure. WHAT IF I HAVE A C-SECTION provides exactly that. It's must reading for all pregnant women." --Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom (Bantam, 1998) and The Wisdom of Menopause (Bantam, 2001) "This book is a wonderful, reassuring resource for mothers-to-be everywhere. I highly recommend it." --Helain J. Landy, MD, Director, Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship Program, and Director, Labor & Delivery, Georgetown University Hospital "The book is well-written and complete. Rita quotes a broad range of experts. Her use of personal stories from the public brings the concepts discussed into a practical and human llevel." --Michele Lauria, MD, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dartmouth Medical School
