Elective C-section - step by step

[Jellybum2019]

Hi everyone

I once found a great thread which detailed people experiences step by step of their elective c-section but have searched and searched and can’t seem to find it.

my friend has just found out she will be having an elective in 2 weeks time so we hoping to share this with you because I remember thinking at the time that it was really insightful. I have had 2 emergency sections myself after long labours so although I can share my experience, it would be really handy to have some information to share with her of step what happens when you arrive at the hospital and getting to theatre etc when it isn’t an emergency.

thank you!

@Dyra thankyou for replying and to be honest I'm not 100% sure it was all quite mad but they tried it twice and I had still had quite abit of feeling so they thought it best to just put me to sleep. I'm hoping for a much calmer time this time around and just trying to convince myself to NOT panic about it in anyway as I want to be awake. My partner hasn't been there for any of his childrens births due to me being put under general so I'm hoping for this time around to be different x
