This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests whether a structured four-step talking program with a trained nurse can reduce anxiety and boost breastfeeding confidence in mothers who have planned cesarean sections. About 30–40% of mothers who have cesarean births experience high anxiety afterward, and many struggle with breastfeeding confidence. The program involves four short conversations (10–20 minutes each) — before surgery, 24–48 hours after, before you leave the hospital, and by phone two weeks later — designed to help you process fears, separate pain from your identity, build a positive story about yourself as a mother, and strengthen your breastfeeding journey.
Many mothers feel anxious and depressed after cesarean birth and lack confidence in breastfeeding, but there are few simple, non-drug approaches to help. This trial tests whether supportive conversations with a nurse can make a real difference in how you feel and how well you feed your baby.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus the four-step talking program. If you're in the program group, you'll have four conversations with a trained nurse: one before your surgery (to talk through your worries), one at 24–48 hours after delivery (to help you process pain and anxiety), one before you go home (to build a positive story), and one phone call two weeks later (to strengthen what you've learned). The whole study follows you for up to three months, with checks on your anxiety, mood, breastfeeding confidence, and how you're healing. There are no medications or invasive procedures — only supportive conversations.
