Summary

In this episode, I do an extended Q&A taking questions that you guys have given me about C-sections!

Here are the questions we go over!

  1. What are some reasons why a C-section is warranted?
  2. What can I expect when I go the hospital for my scheduled C-section?
  3. Can you still do skin-to-skin?
  4. Can you be awake in an emergency C-section if you haven’t had an epidural/spinal block?
  5. How long after my C-section can I start massaging my scar?
  6. If you have an anterior placenta, how does the surgeon know where the placenta is before they cut?
  7. Why can’t I eat or drink before the C-section?
  8. Do they cut through your old scar for repeat C-sections?
  9. Any tips or tricks to distract me so I can handle the spinal?
  10. Why did I vomit so much during my C-section? Will that happen again?
  11. Why do your feet swell up again after your C-section?
  12. Can a C-section affect your milk supply?

Scheduled C-section on the horizon?
