Celebrating Every Birth: Caesarean Awareness Month UK
April is Caesarean Awareness Month, and here at Little Giggles Co. we’re proud to celebrate every kind of birth — especially those delivered via C-section. Whether it was planned or unexpected like ours, birth by caesarean is powerful, valid, and deeply personal.
In the UK, around 25% of babies are born via caesarean section. Behind each of those births is a story of strength, sacrifice, and love. This month is about shining a light on those stories, and offering support to parents recovering from C-sections.
Why Is Caesarean Awareness Month Important?
Caesarean Awareness Month UK is about more than just awareness — it’s about empowerment and education. Birth can take many forms, and it’s time we uplift every experience.
This month aims to:
-
Normalise caesarean birth as a positive and valid birth option
-
Support new mums recovering from C-sections with practical resources
-
Raise awareness of emotional and mental health challenges
-
Break down stigma surrounding surgical birth
No matter how a baby arrives, every mum deserves care, celebration, and respect.

Why Every Birth Story Matters
There is no “right” way to give birth — only the way that’s right for you and your baby. Whether you had a gentle water birth, an emergency C-section, or something in between, your journey is valid.
This Caesarean Awareness Month, join us in saying: all births are beautiful, and all mums are heroes. 💗
