| |  National Caesarean Awareness Day
Today is National Caesarean Awareness Day in Australia, NCAD was established to honour the 1 in 3 women who give birth via major surgery. So for all of the BB ladies out there who have had a caesarean birth, whether planned or unplanned, today is for us. I applaud you all, caesareans are definitely not the easy way out & the effects last a lifetime.  |

its great that there is a day for "awareness" about it, but I am sure that if not for BB, I for one would not be "aware" of it.

for us all. Definitely not easy.
Would have loved to hear about this in the media though, I would never have known! There would be many others the same I think.

Oh that's cool.
I had my first emergency c/s last year, and my second "elective" is next Tuesday.
Very exciting!

I think NCAD is a great idea. There certainly long lasting effects from it. I had an emergency c/s 12 months ago.
Thanks for letting us know about it.

How bizarre, it was exactly 6 months ago today that I underwent my "emergency" c/s - hate that terminology so much!! And I've also been doing a lot of thinking about it (again) the past week or so.
Thanks for letting us know Sarah.

A good day to let people know that 'elective' c section does not always mean 'wanted' c section as so many assume.

I always use the term 'scheduled' caesarean, as opposed to 'elective'. I did not 'elect' to have a c/s, one was 'scheduled' because, due to placenta praevia, I could not go into spontaneous labour.
Hopefully the next awareness day I'll be celebrating will be VBACAD!
