If a C-section is mentioned during your pregnancy or labor, things can move quickly—and it’s not always easy to think of the right questions in the moment.
This printable C-Section Preference Checklist was created to help you feel more prepared, more informed, and more confident going into the conversation.
As a Labor & Delivery nurse of 11 years, I’ve seen how much of a difference it makes when moms understand their options and feel comfortable speaking up.
Inside this checklist, you’ll have:
✔️ Questions to help you understand why a C-section is being recommended
✔️ Preferences you can consider before and during surgery
✔️ Simple ways to advocate for yourself in a calm, respectful way
✔️ What to expect immediately after delivery
✔️ A clear, easy-to-follow format you can save or print for the hospital
This is not about saying yes or no—
it’s about making sure you feel informed and supported in your decision.
Perfect for:
• First-time moms
• Moms preparing for induction or possible C-section
• Anyone who wants to feel more in control during birth
