I'm pretty sure that I am going to opt to have a scheduled CS with this bub. But the thing that scares me most about it is how DS is going to cope. He will be 2 and 9 months when bubs arrives. So it would be wonderful if you could share yours and your LO's experience with you having a CS with your second, or subsequent children. I'm interested to know:

- when after your CS did they come to visit? I had initially thought that DS would come that afternoon, but then my sister said it might be best to wait till the next day when I'm up and about and don't have tubes etc - she thought that might be upsetting/scary for him...
- how you/they managed with you not being able to pick them up for weeks afterwards
- how they coped with you being in hospital for those few days
- were you comfortable having them sit on your lap and give them a cuddle?
- could you lift them while sitting?

I think that's the key things, I'm sure there's more... But would love it if you could share your experience. TIA
