C section in 2 days

[lauranug]

Having a C section in 2 day, really nervous and excited at the same time.

I am a FTM so it's all new to me. I have to get a GA due to illness which causes low platelets and not allowed a spinal block/epidural.

Can I get some experiences of a C section under GA?

I had a c section under ga 6 weeks ago. It went well, I was a bit sleepy and cold when they brought me round and I was out of it due to the drugs and had the medical staff In bits laughing at the rubbish I was saying. My partner did the first skin to skin because I was asleep .i went to the bathroom a couple of hours later in a wheelchair as I had no catheter. I was discharged then two days later.

Hope it all went well and you’re having lots of newborn snuggles now 😊
