To go to theatre and be present for 2 c sections and a laporoscopy It was so interesting and it was such a privilege to be present for these babies births. Anyway, I was hoping I wouldn't be traumatised and I am a bit, but only because the bubs were delivered and taken to be checked by the doc, then wrapped up before being given to Mum.. If it were me I would have wanted skin to skin ASAP... Anyway.... I started a thread a while ago about forceps being used in C sections, here So I got to have my question answered.. 1st C section bub was pulled out with HANDS and I though Yay! 2nd one though, I saw the Dr struggle a bit to get Bub out and sure enough he used forceps. It was really quick though and as soon as bub was easy to hold he did, so although not ideal, I think they must only be used if Bub is really hard to get and it's not like they bub is being held by forceps for long.. So... I'm just praying that little Button will be low and easy for Dr to grab! I still don't like the idea of cold metal being the introduction to the outside world!
