I am feeling very upset about my cesarean. How can I find help?

If you feel so upset that you fear that you might harm yourself or your baby, please seek professional help immediately by calling 911 or contacting your doctor.

ICAN believes that everyone needs support after birth, especially if they consider their birth experience to be traumatic.  Your feelings are valid.

Different ways that ICAN can support can be found under the “Support” tab.

Local chapter leaders provide support through online, and in-person meetings. Find a local chapter using the “Find A Chapter” tab.
