thanks (: @emily18234

you're welcome. any other fears, just message me.

Cool thank you @emily18234

the whole procedure from getting in to the OR to recovery was an hour. as soon as we were in the recovery room I was having skin to skin and breastfeeding.

No problem!!! Good luck!!

thank you @momofthree2016 @emily18234 !!

you do NOT feel the incision. you do not feel being tied back up. I was hysterical before because I didn't feel "prepared" since it was a week early, but it was such a great expirience. even my fiance said so

hey I just had a c-section the 16th. I don't know the question really hahaha. I felt the pressure of the baby being taken out. that it is. you can ask for a clear drape and watch the baby being taken out. they have to do tests because a baby isn't squeezed out so there is probably more liquid in their lungs. the baby is brought to you and they try to do as much skin to skin as possible. the epidural wears off after 2 hours. I was even able to move to my own bed.

Yeah I'm not really sure. Maybe you could ask so you know ahead of time.

But we did skin to skin the whole time I was being stitched up and even while I was being transferred back to my room from the OR

My best friend had a c section last year and got to hold her baby after they stitched her up

well then maybe mine will let me because they way they sounded when I went last week it sounded like they do it unless you tell them not to @momofthree2016

I think it just depends on the hospital and Drs

I had an emergency c section and got skin to skin right away while they were stitching me up

Oh okay thanks @theinkedmommy

I see @ilovemykids24

does the epidural affect your arms then too I thought it was just supposed to be like your waist down @theinkedmommy

I have read up and talked to my doctor. They said it will be okay but I wont be about to see my baby until later and I'm also getting my tubes tied.

I thought they couldn't do that because of baby still being connected to you?? @ilovemykids24

Yes, with this new baby I'm having in August they are putting me to sleep. I had an epidural the first time and I will never do that again.

I've already been to the hospital that I'm going to be at and they said they don't give baby a bath for 2 hours so hopefully if I have to have one they will let me @lalamichelle0707 and that's what I'm afraid of @ilovemykids24 also I'm afraid of the epidural 😣

Some do and some don't. My dr said not right after for me, but after they clean and weigh baby then I can.

I pray you don't.

They are painful.

damn I really want to do skin to skin.. hopefully I won't have to have a c section then ;-; @ilovemykids24

When I had mine I only saw my baby for about 10 secs.

I don't think there is skin to skin when having a C-Section.
