"Natural" C-sections?

I've had a previous C-section, and the only issue I had was the time between him being born and me holding him. I'm contemplating a second c section and I've been reading about natural c sections, has anyone had one? I'm def going to bring it up to my dr when I go next week.

    I had one and absolutely loved it. My OB dimmed the surgical lights, had music playing, dropped the surgical drape so that I can see her come out (which was done slowly), placed her on my abdomen/chest immediately until the cord stopped pulsating. It was hard not to touch her since she was still in the sterile zone. Afterward I got to hold her first and then while I was getting sewed up DH went with her to get washed, measured, etc.

    I have never heard of this but would have definitely preferred it over my C-section experience! Does your hospital offer it?

    I too had one and loved it!  She was immediately put on my chest after being weighed and everything for skin to skin and stayed there while I was being worked on.  Then they (DD and DH) stayed with me the whole time in recovery where I breastfed for the first time.  It was really nice and I loved having her with me.

    wow! this sounds awesome! I know that I cannot do that bc I would start having a panic attack if I saw my stomach opened. Plus I loved that DH got to hold her immediately and help take care of her. I do think this is a cool thing though.
