C-section - what to expect?

[becmc]

Hi, I am having a home vbac in august and have to say that your chances of a natural birth after a c/s (barring any complications) are as good as anyone, IMO even better chance if you are informed!
I didn't have a great recovery but have heard that an elective c/s without the labouring first generally has a better recovery.
I posted a response to Monnie's question which is in the link, but have to say that you are the customer and if you want to hold your baby immediately then tell them that is what you will be doing, no questions asked! Obviously again it is barring any medical emergencies for either of you, but really I see no good reason for taking a newborn away from their mother. I have a birth plan for this bub incase of c/s, and in it I am stating that I am to hold the baby immediately and that my hubby and bub are coming to recovery with me.
Just something to think about!!
Good luck with everything!
