anyone else watch their c/s???

lvisser · September 2011

With my son's planned c/s, I asked the doctor if I could see him right away, or if they could drop the curtain while he was coming out. He instead told me that they could set up a mirror so I could watch the whole thing.

It.was.amazing.

Did anyone else watch theirs? I am sooo hoping I get to watch this one too!

Nope, but my c/s wasn't planned, it was emergency. I wish I could of seen it.. I know with our next kid, we are doing a planned c/s I don't want to have the stress of trying a VBAC.

But when we do, I'm going to ask if I can watch

Ooh i would have loved to watch! They told me no...bummer.

I didn't want to watch the actual blood and guts part, but I did get to see them lifting my baby out of me through the mirror (it was aimed just a little higher). My husband did watch the entire thing, which he enjoyed....

If I have another child, I'll probably want to watch everything since I probably won't be as nervous.

I didn't have that option. Next time I will have it video taped so I can watch it later.

Mine was an emergency - so no. I don't think my hospital allows you to watch though... not totally sure. Sounds cool - my husband would totally faint though.

I didnt but I would have really liked to.

I asked if they could lower the drape but they said no. Lame - I would have loved to see it. Thankfully, DH put our camera over the drape and got some awesome pictures of DS's head coming out of my belly so I kind of got to see it after the fact.

No way! I'm a wimp when it comes to blood. lol

I would have loved that

I had the shakes so bad I just wanted the whole thing to be over. It felt REALLY weird with all the tugging, I had absolutely no desire to witness what was happening.

I didn't but MH did. It was an emergency c/s. I'm not even sure if that would have been an option? I wouldn't have been able to handle it anyway. I was shaking so hard and just kind of out of it. I had a hard time concentrating on anything.

Mine was a somewhat emergency c-section, so I was too scared to ask, but I would have loved to watch! I plan on having a VBAC for the next one, but I plan to ask the doctor if I can watch if I end up with a C-Section anyway.

lilydeven · September 2011

I didnt get to and I forgot to ask! maybe I will ask next time lol.

girllennon · September 2011

Nope...I had an emergency c-section (was planning to have c-section at 39 weeks). I have a weak stomach and DH is even worse. Neither one of us wanted to see LO get pulled out, they asked if he wanted to take a picture, too, but only took pics as soon as he went to the warming table.

If I have another LO, I will decline to watch. That's just me. I have only the utmost respect for those ladies who have watched.

DH was in Afghanistan when I had DS. My mom was there and was able to video it for DH. They usually don't allow it. I've seen the video and love that I have it. DH has watched it. We were going to try And skype but I had an emergency CS and DH couldn't get the Internet to work.
