Lol at the meerkat comment Entreat! My hubby was not really keen to stand up and peek over but he did see it all anyway cause I asked them to take the screen down when they were about to lift Ds out.
Entreat - I wanted to thank you for sharing your positive experience. I was reading it last Friday night after being induced (and therefore not sleeping!). When it was clear mid-late Saturday that despite 3 induction attempts, labour was not progressing, my OB started talking about the very likely possible need for a c-section the next morning. I had always been dead against a c/s, but having read your experience, I was able to think things through and discuss with DH, and by the next morning felt very comfortable about heading into my operation.
Once my little girl joined the world, it was all very worthwhile to go through what I did just to be able to finally meet my little one. The stress and upset I'm sure I would have been putting myself through if not for reading your story seems like a very distant worry now.
I'm glad our story helped you see the good in the 'unplanned' c-section. Were you able to get some photos take?
Ya know, I had a great birth plan written out & I was really adament about a few things, but in the end I got what I REALLY wanted: a healthy baby. And I can never argue with that!
