I have decided to have a tubal ligation after my son is born. I am wondering if anyone has had a cesarean and had the tubal performed at the same time. I want to breastfeed and I don't want to be put to sleep for the procedure so I can breastfeed right away.

i had to have an emergency c-section with my last child(i have three wonderful boys) i had wanted to have a tubal done anyways so when they did the c-section they also did the tubal. you should not have to be put to sleep during your c-section unless you are having complications with the medicene they use to numb you. i was awake for the whole procedure and had to spend about an hour in recovery or until i could lift my legs and then i was moved to my regular room. at that point i was able to see my baby and brestfeed him....don't worry your baby will be in good hands just talk to the nurse and let them know that you would like to breastfeed as soon as possible.......by the way i spent three days in the hospital and the next week at home before i went back to work(part time as a school bus driver)and i was playing softball four weeks after the birth (although i couldn't run very fast) good luck to you!!!

my sister had a c-section and a tubal done at the same time but she was put to sleep. It will be fine. I understand you want to be there awake when your baby is born but i also had a c-section and was put under (i didn't have my tubes tied though) and i woke up about an hour after i had my son.
You should have the tubal done at the same time as they have you already in the operating room cause if you don't like me then most likely you will end up getting pregnant again and keeping on and on putting it off. so good luck and congrats to you

I had the tubal done with my cesarean. I was put out for the procedure, but have known others that have had an epidural so they remain awake throughout. Then breastfeeding is not an issue. Good luck!!

I had a c-section, an ovarian cyst and an ovary removed all at the same time. I was awake for the entire thing, but to be honest... some of it is still a blurr trying to look back on it (the epideral made me a tad foggy).
Your milk won't really "come in" for a couple of days after the birth, but I must say even through all the fogginess of the time the one thing I remember clear as day is my daughter looking up at me for the first time as I was about to feed her... I'll never forget that moment.

Ask your doctor. If your doctor does the cesarean while you are awake, and ties your tubes at the same time (with an epidural) then you should be able to breastfeed immediately afterward. Your doctor should be able to tell you what to expect, so just ask at your next prenatal visit.

You may be able to have your baby, and have your tubes tied at the same time, but if you don't want to be anaesthitised, you can take the risky procedure of Epidural spinal block.
Just remember , this can be risky for you.

It's not a big deal.. you can be awake and you can still brestfeed. Good luck.

my next door neighbor had both done at the same time. she was very satisfied, and did not feel it lengthened her recovery.
