[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think hospitals allow skin to skin during c-sections. I asked for it at WHC and Sibley. Both were scheduled c-sections with no complications, and they wouldn’t allow it. The shaking is also common, although I didn’t have it as bad at Sibley. I definitely did not want a clear drape, so it’s not something I asked for. But at Sibley there’s a mirror over the operating table, and they told me to avoid looking at it if I didn’t want an eyeful. [/quote]

I asked for a gentle C section at Sibley too and the doctor said no. [/quote]

Pp here. Honestly I was disappointed at the time but honestly in hindsight it did not matter one bit! I saw my guts reflected in the OR lamp and that almost made me puke. Made me totally regret thinking I wanted a clear drape -yikes! Once I Heard the baby cry it was all good! He was getting taken care of right away while I had the shakes and severe nausea on the table and the last thing I would have wanted while getting sutured would have been the addition of trying to hold my son or do skin to skin. I was focused on breathing, not vomiting and getting through the operation. We had skin to skin shortly thereafter and it was wonderful and didn’t matter that it took an hour. All this midwife drivel about the golden hour is bull. My C section baby and I didn’t get the golden hour and yet he’s the closest to me. And yeah, I didn’t get a gentle C section and I thought I wanted it - but after the experience I would not. Same goes for my unmedicated vaginal birth - thought I wanted that too but I’m not someone who enjoys pain and once I was through the experience I said, never again! [/quote]
