BY: M. of A. Solages

MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
April 2021, as Cesarean Awareness Month in the State
of New York

WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to increase awareness of health
issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim April 2021, as Cesarean
Awareness Month in the State of New York; and

WHEREAS, Women who undergo cesarean surgery may have a long recovery
time, and are subject to complications such as increased rates of
unexplained stillbirth, placental abnormalities, and uterine rupture;
and

WHEREAS, While a cesarean can be lifesaving for a mother and her
baby in certain circumstances, maternal and child health are improved by
preventing unnecessary cesareans; and

WHEREAS, Women from the State of New York should have access to full
and complete information on the risks and benefits of vaginal birth and
cesarean section in order to make informed choices about their health
care; and

WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater awareness of this
health issue, and more must be done to increase activity at the local,
State and National levels; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim April 2021, as Cesarean
Awareness Month in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
New York.
