Make a birth plan ahead of time with the people delivering your baby, letting them know that unless the birth situation is life threatening you prefer to bypass the c-section option.

Avoid epidurals and the drug Pitocin (synthetic oxytocin) to speed up birth. Both increase the need for abdominal delivery. Make it clear ahead of time to those delivering your child that you forbid the use of both of these interventions.

Avoid going to the hospital too early. Statistically, premature hospitalization increases the chances of a mother receiving a c-section.

Use a midwife and, if you choose, a doula. The use of midwives and labor assistants is known to lower c-sections rates. These women are also your educated advocates, providing as natural a childbirth as is possible in your situation.

Avail yourself of the many natural birth techniques outlined in this chapter. All are designed specifically to relax mothers, reduce pain and fear levels, make labor less difficult, and increase the chances of a delivery without complications.
