Questions to ask when at risk for a c-section

TaraGoldenCO

Because I am being induced at 37 weeks I'm at a higher risk of a c-section.  What are questions that I should ask my doctor about the possible c-section. 

Here are some questions I thought of.

1.  Will I be put under?

2. Can my husband be in the room? 

3. What if there are complications is my OB able to handle them? Will there be another doctor to assist? 

4. What will recovery be like?

5. How does this impact breast feeding?

6. How long does it take to recover?

Any other questions I should ask? 

Thanks!

I had an unplanned c-section at 35 weeks with my first.  To be perfectly honest, the physical recovery was a breeze.  I had a spinal, so my husband was in the room.  My doc, an OB nurse, OR assistants, nurse anesthesiologist, and a NICU nurse were all in the room.  My sutures were disolveable, just had to keep the area clean until the incision healed and went back at 2 weeks post to have it checked.  Definitely stay on top of your meds the first couple of days, the pain can sneak up on you.  I think I was down to just ibuprofen after about a week.
