Having a birth plan for a caesarean is tricky, because most, if not all, decisions are made by the anaethatist and / or the Ob - and because you are public you don't know who you are getting, and more often than not, they get it their way. So try and bring it up with the hospital as soon as possible before the birth, but it's really pot luck with the Ob/anaethatist you have and their beliefs.

I have supported women who have been birth centre clients and needed to transfer, a couple having c/s and all their preferences tend to go out the window as the Ob just wants the procedure done and over with. I know one Ob recently who said to a client of mine, 'I don't agree with leaving the cord to stop pulsating, do you want to bleed to death on the table?' WTF?!

Private Obs you have more negotiation with as you know who will be there and can talk to them before the birth - and if you don't like them you can change - but you still know their beliefs and what you are going to get. So be prepared this may happen, I do hope your birthplan gets to work out as you hope hon. Perhaps you could hire a midwife so you can breastfeed in recovery as Brooke was going to do? Run it by the hospital first though as something you want to do in order to get that
