April is Caesarean Awareness Month, dedicated to educating the public about C-section births and supporting those who undergo them.
A Caesarean section is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby when a vaginal birth poses risks. Globally, C-section rates have risen, with WHO recommending it only when medically necessary.
The awareness month highlights informed birth choices, recovery support, and the importance of respectful maternity care.
It also works to dispel myths and reduce stigma around surgical births.
Advocates urge mothers to speak openly, seek proper care, and understand their rights during childbirth.
