Parenting after a Loss

Question re: c/s

Is it true your arms are strapped down?  I read that in one of my pregnancy books...

Re: Question re: c/s

  • Mine weren't strapped down. ?I did try to reach up (without even realizing I did it) when they held DS up and the nurse beside me pulled my arm back down. ?So I can see why they might strap them down!

  • Mine were strapped down, but it wasn't tight.  I didn't even notice.  Everything happened so fast and I was in and out in 30 minutes.
  • Mine weren't.
  • Mine weren't strapped down but they were totally numb and I couldn't move them at all....
  • Mine were with Aiden but I didn't even realize it until it was over!

    I'm pretty sure mine were.  I was worried about it before hand but it didn't bother me and I really can't even be 100% sure they did it.  There is a lot of other stuff to focus on/ worry about.

  • Mine weren't, but mine was a scheduled c/s. My friend had an emergency c/s at the same hospital, and hers were.

  • Mine weren't and I did not have a scheduled c-section.  I just had to check my pics because I had no idea if they were or not!  Everything happened so fast.
  • Hmmm...I don't remember them being strapped down, but they probably had a blood pressure cuff on one.

  • Mine weren't but I had in my birth plan that if a C-section was needed that I didn't want them strapped down. I did see straps though.
  • mine were not but I thought they were because they were out at my sides.  My nose started to itch and I asked the Nurse sitting by my head if she could scratch my nose and she said 'um... your arms aren't tied down' - it was pretty funny
  • I wasn't strapped, but I felt like I may as well have been. They have you put your arms straight out to the side. An IV in one arm makes it difficult to move that arm, and a sensor on your finger adds to that; so you kind of just feel immobile.
