[quote=Anonymous]-Ask about preventing getting cold.  They have warmed blankets and/or this inflated warming thing.
-they only allow 1 person in OR besides you, I asked if my mom could swap with my husband when he followed the baby into another area.  This was an accommodation but they made it, and I am SO thankful that I did not have to be alone during a somewhat traumatic stitch-up.
-ask about the skin to skin stuff etc. even though they might say no
-ask if you can keep your glasses on
-ask if you can have music on headphones or your own music on a CD player, etc.
-make clear your intention to breastfeed and wanting to get the baby to you as soon as possible 
-ask about not strapping your arms down or finding some gentler form of restraint

Don't waste time writing stuff up that you already know they won't accept, keep it concise and respectfully worded, and think of it as something to remind you of what to ask the nurse / anesthesiologist verbally since they probably won't read it.  I was glad I made one though.
