About the day
Cesarean Awareness Month takes place every April. It is organised by the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN), a US nonprofit founded in 1982.
The month covers all topics linked to caesarean birth, including reducing preventable caesareans, support with recovery, and vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) as an option.
It suits maternity and baby brands, healthcare providers, midwifery and doula services, parenting media and women's health organisations.
