Most women who are attempting vaginal birth do not plan to end up in a C Section, however, it is important to understand the process and how to continue to advocate for you and your baby if you do end up there.
The rate of C Section in this country is 32%+ (1 in 3) and many women haven't researched what happens in a C Section and the things we can request. Below is an important list to remember in the birth and postpartum.
-Skin to Skin (you can absolutely get this)
-Delayed cord clamping
-Music
-No anti psychotics injected to the IV (anesthesia does this sometimes to keep mom calm during an awake procedure)
-Keep baby with mom (do not take them from mom to nursery baby goes where mom goes or DAD takes baby to postpartum room skin to skin)
-Latch ASAP for breastfeeding, if baby won't latch or it hurts, start pumping to help supply. Very critical to do every 2-3 hours from birth.... not waiting 8-10 hours to start....
-Do not eat until you pass gas or poop!!!! Very important
-Lightly walk to help stimulate recovery and wake up the intestines.
All this and more I cover in my childbirth education course and my FREE breastfeeding course found on my website at https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/
