About 32% of all US births are delivered by a Cesarean section, a procedure that has prevented the injury and death of countless moms and children – including my sister and both of my nephews. Let’s honor the strength and resilience of our C-section moms! #CSectionDay

When a baby cannot be delivered normally, it's vital to have alternative birthing options like the one offered by cesarean sections. Raise awareness about this important surgery that has saved the lives of millions of women and babies over the past 200 years! #NationalCesareanSectionDay celebrates the lives of people all over the world who would not be here without this critical surgical procedure. #WorkingForABetterTomorrow! @dkgautam007 @csectionmums @AwaitingJuno @IU_Surgery @CochraneCGF @McMasterOBGYN To Support the Cause ,Kindly Donate by using the Secure Payment Link:- pages.razorpay.com/drishti #CesareanSectionDay #CSectionAwareness #CSectionStrong #CesareanWarrior #CSectionDay #BirthStory #CSectionAwarenessMonth

Today is National Caesarean Section Day! It commemorates the first successful C-section, in the US, made by Dr. Jesse Bennett on January 14, 1794 and is dedicated to everyone born via C-section since. #FSC celebrates the medical marvel that is C-section! #CSectionDay #Miracles

If you are planning to welcome your baby via #cesarean section, anesthesia concerns may be top of mind. Rest assured, anesthesiologists are there to ensure you and your baby are comfortable and safe through the delivery process. Read here: yalemedicine.org/conditions/… #CSectionDay

Working on some kind of record for how many times one person can tweet/text/DM ‘Thank you!’ in 24 hours. Sometimes I mix it up a little and add 🙏. #CSectionDay

Guys, there is a teeny tiny silver lining of #PandemicPregnancy...check out our Welcome Basket on the #MotherBabyUnit... #CSectionDay

The New Mama is loving the SCD’s 🤨 Just wishing she could take them home... #CSectionDay

Lara bar. The perfect post-partum snack for the #NonPregnantMom. No one even cares/is jealous. #CSectionDay

‘If 2020 was a massage it would be a fundal massage.’ 😂 -Our awesome nurse, now giving said massage in recovery. #CSectionDay

Just saw our cute little anesthesiologist walk by with a cart. Is it his turn to try for the post-Harrington rod Spinal? #CSectionDay Also friend texted ‘I have been visioning it a success all week!’ So if you’re into that, join in! Esp #medtwitter who know what it looks like!

Also, what’s the minimum acceptable battery percentage for going into the OR on #CSectionDay? (Like, can I keep scrolling twitter/absently tweeting nonsense pretending I’m not nervous or should I just sit here and do nothing?) 🔋 = 85% currently

And now, I wait. (For the anesthesia team to work their magic. And skills. Preferably mad skills 🤞🏼) #CSectionDay

Secret side note from the #NonPregnantMom: Skipping food/drink in solidarity (except AM coffee and sneaky car banana while parking) and damn, I’m hungry. Or as we say in our family: hungry hungry hippo. #hhh (Though nothing like the actual #NPO #pregnant lady!) #CSectionDay

View from the L&D bed (in which nothing more exciting than the placement of the IV and about a gazillion pre-op questions will happen) (Sorry, couldn’t figure out which of the several dozen light switches in this room would turn it on...) #CSectionDay

All suited up. Brief Delay while the ‘urgent’ case goes before us... #CSectionDay

#NonPregnantMom #CSectionDay Fashion Update: The correct black dress was found, but I brought the back-up one too, just in case. Also, can you imagine how uncomfortable I felt in my flip flops all this time in the hospital?! #ItAllAboutLookingGood

I think we’re on sixth try for the IV. Bless these nurses/CRNA/??? As I was telling a patient yesterday (Wtf, me?!), I’ve only done ONE IV in my entire medical career. And it was on my muscular very prominent veined running buddy... #CSectionDay
