your experiences: caesars at the RWH?

[ferrals5]

I Had a c section due to placenta previa not at the RWH but thought id share what happened with me.

I had skin to skin about 5 minutes after bub was born while they were sewing me up and after they made sure bub was fine.

Dad cut the cord shorter after surgeons handed bub to nurses.

They clamped the cord straight away im pretty sure because risk of bleeding with major surgery we had to have cord blood frozen and sent for genetic testing so it was clamped and cut straight away.

Dad went with baby never left her side while i went to re covery for 1 hour dad got to see her 1st needles and then he dressed her ect until i got back to the room.

We couldnt watch the surgery cause of the risk with bleeding and the had to pull my uterus out to sew it up so im glad i didnt see that.

No baby didnt go to recovery went with dad back to the ward.
