The Cesarean forum is for support, respectful requests for information and sharing of ideas and experiences. While we will not restrict discussions only to those who may have in the future or have had in the past Cesarean births, we will actively discourage individuals from posting with no sincere interest in discussing Cesarean birth. Proselytizing against cesarean birth will not be permitted. Controversial subjects of discussion related to cesareans can be found elsewhere on the internet, and we invite you to seek out other venues for that purpose.

This forum is run by volunteer forum leaders tracymom1, _ktg_, MsDolphin, and caedenmomma who will be responsible for implementing the guidelines and assisting you with any problems or concerns regarding the forum. They in turn will refer any issues to the Mothering community managers and moderators for resolution.
