C-section experience at Englewood Hospital? (NJ)

Hi everyone,
I am likely going to have a scheduled c-section at Englewood in June for various medical reasons.   Has anyone had a c-section at this hospital,  and if so, what was your experience?  I am especially concerned about having skin to skin contact with my baby as soon as possible.  I also don't want to have my arms strapped down during the procedure, but not sure what the policy is at this hospital.  Any insight would be much appreciated!

    Are there places that strap arms down during a csection? I'm suddenly concerned about that. I'll add that to my list of things to worry about until I can ask my Dr when I next see him.

    @May14th2011 my arms weren't physically strapped down.  I had to lay them on the arm table things, but could move them freely to touch DD when they brought her over.

    @sunshineandwhiskey mine weren't strapped down for the last two, but this is a new hospital so I guess I'll ask just to be sure.

    Should try your local board if you’d only like to ask Internet Strangers.

    Mine were not strapped down! I'm claustrophobic thinking about it.

    mine were strapped down but glad because i was a bit shaky from the spinal. I’d highly recommend a hospital tour.

    @May14th2011 mine were strapped down :( it was probably a good thing bc the way mine went south I probably would have been flailing them around. That being said, I have been told I can request that they not do it.
