Mine was wonderful, but that may also be because it was in comparison to my first birth which was an emergency section and quite traumatic. I also knew what to expect in the theatre, so it wasn’t as daunting as first time around.
I found the whole thing so serene and lovely, to be honest, and would have done it again in a heartbeat of DH hadn’t squashed the idea of more D.C. 😆
My surgical team (at UCH) were really up on the whole ‘natural c-section’ thing, so they lowered the curtain as she was born (didn’t see any gore, but saw her as soon as she was out). I got skin-to-skin very quickly and in the short time they were weighing her and doing her Apgar score, a lovely, very bossy midwife made sure nobody blocked my sight of her. I felt really supported.
I was able to feed as soon as we were in recovery and I recovered very well physically. No pain whatsoever (take the meds they offer afterwards!). I was on cloud nine for weeks. I couldn’t imagine a better birth.
Good luck
