​
Designed for families who want emotional support, practical preparation and reassurance before welcoming their baby by planned caesarean.
Is Caesarean Birth Support right for you?
A planned caesarean birth deserves every bit as much preparation and support as any other birth.
​
Whether your caesarean has always been your first choice or it's become the safest or most appropriate option during pregnancy, this package is designed to help you approach the day feeling informed, calm and confident.
​
We'll spend time talking through what to expect, exploring ways to personalise your birth experience and preparing both you and your birth partner for the day ahead.
​
My role isn't to change your decisions. It's to support them.
Together, we'll help make your baby's birthday feel calm, meaningful and centred around your family.
​
Every birth deserves to feel positive, respected and remembered with pride.​

What does having me as your doula actually feel like?
"Nat was a huge part of my pregnancy journey, she gave me the tools to feel confident and self assured in every decision we made.
I contacted When Push Comes To Shove to find a doula that was on the same wave length as us, and from the first initial get to know you call we hit it off instantly and I knew she was the right person to support us.
I had a straight forward pregnancy considering it was twins and a very sudden change of events led us away from the birth plan we wanted, but Nat was there with us helping us navigate the next steps.
We are so grateful for everything you’ve done for us and will never forget you".
A planned caesarean can still feel calm, empowering and deeply personal.
​
I'll help you prepare long before the day arrives, so you know what to expect, understand your options and feel confident asking questions that matter to you. On the day itself, my focus is entirely on you.
​
Sometimes that means helping calm last-minute nerves.
Sometimes it's supporting your birth partner so they can focus on you.
Sometimes it's simply being a familiar face reminding you that this is still your birth, your baby and your moment.
​
However your baby arrives, you deserve to feel heard, respected and supported.

Personalising Your Caesarean
​
Many parents are surprised to learn that there are often ways to make a planned caesarean feel more personal.
​
Depending on your hospital and clinical circumstances, you may wish to discuss options such as:
✓ Delayed cord clamping
✓ Immediate skin-to-skin
✓ Gentle or family-centred caesarean techniques
✓ Lowering the screen to see your baby being born
✓ Feeding in recovery
✓ Creating a calm birth environment
​
Every hospital is different, but understanding your options beforehand can help you feel informed, involved and confident in your baby's birth.
