I asked my OB about having the catheter put in after the spinal, which is how is does them anyway. He said it would stay in until the next morning, then I would be allowed out of bed when it was removed and allowed to shower. They put bubs in the nursery for the first night, and then you can choose if you want them to room in with in or the nursery for the following nights.

I asked about staples or stitches. He said I could choose either, and gave us pros and cons of each. I chose staples, and they were all removed on day 5.

Maybe ask about if you need to meet the anaethetist before your c/s. I was suppose to have a meeting with ours, but because we live so far from them, our first consult was the morning of the c/s. Our OB said they did not allow your support person in until after you have your spinal.

How long do they estimate you will spend in recovery. If bub is not allowed with you (as was our case) do you want someone to be with them from when they leave the theatre to go back to the maternity ward.

Cutting of the cord? If your DH is with you, does he want to do that?

Are you allowed to take a camera into the theatre if you want photos of bub.
