How to prepare for a C-section

Testimonial

I went to Sierra Vista to deliver my preterm twins, and I felt so well taken care of. The labor and delivery nurses were caring, helpful, and attentive. The NICU team is absolutely phenomenal; I was at ease knowing they are in loving, capable hands. The doctors and nurses did a great job answering my questions.
