Gentle caesarean: a calmer, more personal approach to birth
A gentle caesarean, sometimes referred to as a natural caesarean, is a surgical birth that incorporates aspects of a traditional vaginal delivery to make the experience more family-centred. This evolving approach to caesarean birth seeks to involve parents more actively in the process, supporting early bonding and providing a sense of participation that may otherwise be lacking in a conventional theatre setting. In this article, a consultant obstetrician explains how a gentle caesarean can offer a more emotionally connected and positive experience, while maintaining the same high standards of medical care and safety.
