Answering Your Questions About C-Sections!

In this episode, I do an extended Q&A taking questions that you guys have given me about C-sections! Here are the questions we go over! What are some reasons why a C-section is warranted? What can I expect when I go the hospital for my scheduled C-section? Can you still do skin-to-skin? Can you be awake in an emergency C-section if you haven’t had an epidural/spinal block? How long after my C-section can I start massaging my scar? If you have an anterior placenta, how does the surgeon know where the placenta is before they cut? Why can’t I eat or drink before the C-section? Do they cut through your old scar for repeat C-sections? Any tips or tricks to distract me so I can handle the spinal? Why did I vomit so much during my C-section? Will that happen again? Why do your feet swell up again after your C-section? Can a C-section affect your milk supply? Scheduled C-section on the horizon?
