flag A mother heals emotionally after a rare maternal-assisted caesarean, where she helped deliver her baby, held him skin-to-skin, and shared a powerful bonding moment during surgery.

flag A mother found emotional healing after a traumatic first caesarean by participating in a maternal assisted caesarean (MAC), where she helped deliver her baby during surgery, scrubbed in, and held him skin-to-skin immediately. flag MAC, which requires a singleton, head-down baby with no complications, is rare and mostly available in private hospitals due to staff unfamiliarity, sterility concerns, and a healthcare system that prioritizes clinical metrics over patient experience. flag Despite no increased infection risk, it remains underutilized because maternal satisfaction isn’t tracked. flag Advocates say MAC should be a standard option for eligible women to improve birth outcomes and support emotional recovery.
