Thanks for all the responses - doesn't sound like a scenario that will happen. I would love my children to be present at this birth - mainly because they were involved with the sadness and loss of their little brother (39 weeks) - and I want to give them some joy if that makes sense. I will look into having them very close by and able to share the moment as soon as possible after the c-section - but I will definately still get my Ob's views on this - he is sympathetic to our situation. I don't want to stress the kids out or create more trauma for them, so will see how we go........ got a little while to think about it.

Thanks again.
