[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak to Sibley, but I spoke at length with my OB when it looked like I might need a c-section for medical reasons. I wanted it to be as zen as possible (and it was!).  I'd also met with a doula who lent me a book about natural childbirth that, somewhat surprisingly to me, had a section about c-sections in it.  For me what was important was as little medication as possible (e.g., no anti-nausea meds because they make me more out of it), being able to have skin-to-skin in the OR (for which they unstrapped one arm), having all tests done in the OR if possible (wasn't an issue since they already did that at my hospital) and some other things that I'm forgetting now.  I didn't have any music playing, although I've heard of others doing that. I remember it being peaceful and calm, and I can still recall the conversations I had with the anesthesiologist and the OB before my baby arrived.  I was very glad that I'd discussed it all with my OB beforehand (and pressed her on a few things).  Good luck! [/quote]
