Cesarean Awareness Year declared in New Jersey

New Jersey has the highest C-section rate in the country. However, with Mercer County declaring this year as Cesarean Awareness Year, I think we will start to see that rate decrease steadily.

I predict a trend in more vaginal births after meeting so many of the wonderful ladies who belong to the New Jersey chapter of ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network). With their positive and upbeat attitudes, I know we can expect to see a lot of postive changes in the state very soon.

New Jersey ICAN members are petitioning the governor to declare a Cesarean Awareness Year for the entire state.

Thank you Tonya Jamois, President of ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) for this information. See the ICAN webstite at http://www.ican-online.org
