Hello
Just wondering for those who have had a c section did you feel sad that they take the babies away rather quickly? I have been watching videos since I will be having a c section due to thier positions...and it looks so sad they they take them away and DH goes with them and you are left alone.

    With my csection they brought them over to me right after they were born one at a time before they even cleaned them up so I could see them. Then once they wiped them off and everything they brought them both to me to hold for a little bit while I was lying there. Then while I was getting stitched up they took them to recovery with my h until I was done. they were my first so I didn't know what else to expect, but I was happy when I was done and wheeled into recovery to hold them again.

    I got to see/ touch them both right away, so I was ok. I don't really remember feeling sad when they took them away. I think I just wanted what was best for them in the moment. 
    It didn't take very long for them to finish up, and the Doc's and I had a nice conversation about local schools while they finished up, lol. Then they wheeled me through the NICU on the way to recovery so that I could see them, and see that they were being cared for.

    I think this just depends on their condition when they are born, just like with a vaginal delivery. Maybe it also depends on your particular hospital.

    Not to scare you but my spinal didn't work at all so I was high as a kite to get my babes out.  They were encouraging me to hold them right away but I didn't feel safe so my husband took them.  My girl came with me to recovery but one needed monitoring by NICU and then ended up there on CPAP.  My husband stayed with him the whole time.

    They took my girl to the nursery for a quick check up (about 1 hour)  as they brought me back to my room.  If you know you are having a c-section I would make sure you have somebody besides your husband there.  My sister was waiting in my room so I wasn't all alone.  It would've been terrible to be all alone and worried about my boy.  I eventually got to see him about 4 hours later in the NICU.  

    This was an emergency c-section late at night though so yours will likely be much better :)

    I also had a wired situation, my spinal went fine but they wanted me to labor some prior to the CS bc I was 5wks early. So I was high as a kite on the meds they gave me prior to the CS - and shaking really bad from the anesthesia. I would not have wanted to hole them but DH got to hold them and we all took some photos. They took our boys to the NICU but I asked DH to stay with me. I was not worried about our joys BUT I second the previous poster who said they had a family member waiting back in the room. That's a smart idea- they won't let you have more than one person in the OR. I would NOT have wanted other people in the hospital otherwise but it was more overwhelming than I expected during and immediately after the actual surgery. And I was planning on a CS and actually overall feel like I had a very good experience
