Kim, I had one of those code red type emerg c/sec. They said at 7.21 we need a ceasar NOW and at 7.29 she was in the world. No joke, you can't see my scar. it was a rush job sure, but they are as professional as if it were planned. Even more so. These people have trained for years to do that. I was up and about hour after and rarley felt any pain associated.
I didn't plan it that way but it had to be done.
