Question

stlmomma27stlmomma27 member
in C-sections
I have my c-section on Monday. I have already bought a nursing tank top, I have comfortable high-waisted pants and very large underwear...lol. I did also buy a nursing bra and didn't know if I would be able to wear that during the section?

    I wore my bra during my C/S. I just had to make sure that it didn't have any metal pieces on it just in case (God forbid) something unexpected happened. I imagine the requirements also differ among the various hospitals/Drs. So you might want to ask your specific Dr.

    I was told to remove all of my clothing before putting on the hospital gown for the c-section.  My breasts weren't sore or leaking, so it didn't bother me to not have on a bra.

    I wasn't allowed to wear anything under my hospital gown during the surgery.

    This. No clothing allowed under my gown for any of my c-sections.

    usually no clothing to the OR except a gown because if there was any possiblity of metal in your bra and electrocautery was used, that would be very bad..

    No clothing under the gown. But, ask if it is important.

    My c-section was unplanned, and I'd been wearing a bra during labor. It was a sports bra type nursing bra, so no metal. I think they assumed I wasn't wearing one when they prepped me for the c-section because I don't remember anyone saying anything. (They had originally said to take it off when I was admitted, but I asked to leave it on.)

    FWIW, I was really glad I had it on because I wouldn't have been able to get one on for awhile afterwards until they'd unhooked me from everything.
