    I would ask their procedure for immediately after the section. 

    Where does baby go? When can you hold him? Could your s/o do skin to skin? Will baby spend all of recovery with you or go straight to the nursery? 

    If you are bfing its important to start as soon as possible in order to stimulate your milk production.

    Your hospital has a C/s class?  That's pretty nice.  In my childbirth class there were just 2 couples that came for the last hour to hear the c/s part.  I'm sure they would have liked something a little more!!  I know I wish I had paid attention during that last part since it turned out I needed an emergency c/s!

    I would definitely ask if baby can be with you in recovery.  If your DH wants to have a part, maybe ask if he can cut the cord.  I think I've heard that some hospitals will let the daddy do that.  Ask what to expect past c/s, like a time line.  When will you be able to get up and walk around, shower, will your pain meds only be given if you ask or will the nurses just keep you on schedule, I know I wish I had known some of that stuff.

    Yes!! I thought that was pretty awesome as well. It's not something that my local, smaller hospital offers. 

    I do want to breast feed ASAP. Thanks!

    I would ask about post-surgery pain management. This was the one aspect of my c-section that did not go well. Ask about what they will offer, etc.
