Leigh - dont get to excited about having the birth filmed....the operating theatre is run by the anethatist so he/she has the say about photo's and taking footage. I waant permitted to do so as 2 of mine were emergencies and my last was tramatic so there was no 'time' for pics let alone video photoage. Ive also been told that video photoage isnt favourable with many surgeons because it can be used as evidence if something goes wrong KWIM
J man was permitted to come intro theatre with mario after I had been placed under....have a chat beforehand with the anethatist and ask if he can come in.
When I had my 3rd c/s I woke up and had no pain what so ever....it felt like I had gone for a sleep and woke up to a baby with no pain nothing. Was fantastic. And be prepared that bub might end up in special care nursary as they also recieve some of the GA and arent as actively awake as a normal c/s
