About the natural caesarean video

in C-sections

I was gonna piggyback, but I'll start a new post.  I saw the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5RIcaK98Yg) and I was wondering...

For those of you who talked to your doctor about this.  How did you go apart bringing this up?  I have several friends in the medical field and I know they hate it when any sentence starts with, "I saw this online..."

Are there any other sites (besides the one in the video description) to read up on this?  We're ttc and this would be sooo amazing if it could happen.

    I don't think you need to say where you saw it - just say "I am interested in a natural c/s" and go from there. But I've never had that discussion before.

    This is how I brought it up. They don't need to know where you first heard of it. I also brought a list of natural c/s characteristics to we're important to me in case "natural cesarean" was immediately shut down (which it was).

    That would be really cool if this becomes the norm.

    IF I get pregnant again someday, and IF I need another c-section, I would bring it up, for sure.

    I guess I would just start the discussion about delivery preferences with my OB - such as "I want baby on my chest in the OR", "I want to see baby be delivered" and any other specific things that were important to me.

    Delayed cord clamping was something we did want to do, but that is when I was expecting a vaginal delivery. After being awake for days in a row in labor, I didn't even think of it as they rolled me to the OR. If I needed a RCS, I would request it.

    I brought some of this up at my OB visit today - specifically skin-to-skin in the OR and delayed cord clamping.  I got a very business-like NO to each one.

    At my hospital the peds come right to the OR work with the baby, so he/she will never leave our side, but my OB was like "we can't do skin-to-skin in the OR - we need room to work - but as soon as you get into recovery."

    For delayed clamping, she told me no because of the risk/need to control bleeding. I left it at that, mostly because I had a previous surgery where bleeding was actually a huge problem.

    I probably could have pushed a little more, but I didn't get the feeling I would get anywhere so I let it stand. I feel like most OBs will be resistant until some of this becomes more common practice.
