Answer 1

I am sorry for your losses and my fingers are crossed for you!! I had a c section with my daughter, I did not hold her after because I was soooo shakey from the meds but, usually they lay her on you or your significant other will hold them close so you can touch them and make you feel at ease!!

You have made it very far, just pray and know that you are at a point in your pregnancy if you go today, your baby if very well developed!

good luck and even though its hard not to have anxiety, remember how far you have made it and the odds are in your favor!!!!!

Answer 2

I had several miscarriages, lost twin daughters when they were born 3 months early, and had my son (only living child) three months early, also.
When he was born, by emergency C-section, I woke up and was told I had a son. I remember saying: "So what, he's going to die anyway." Well, he didn't. I became so close to him, loved him, and cared for him. He is now 26 years old, over 6 feet tall, living on his own, and we are still close.
I was able to hold him and be near him very soon after he was stabilized. I brought him home, when he was over three months old, on a heart monitor. He was on the monitor until he was 9 months old. He is deaf, but otherwise a healthy adult. We are still close.
When your baby is born, you will either continue to be afraid and become overprotective; or you will love the child as best as you can, do the best job of mothering, and be a good parent; or you will be emotionally distant, which will not be good for you or your child.
As a planned C-section, there will be much more control. It should go smoothly and you should be able to hold you child soon after it is born. Talk to your doctor about your fears.
Start getting counseling now and continue with it as long as you need to.

Im sorry for your previouse loses and i think your a strong woman to keep going. I don't think i could i had one mc and it was hard. Congradulations on your new addition though. I never had a c section im still pregnant but probally have one. If your scheduled and you made it this far try not to worry.

Answer 4

after a c-section, you will see the baby but wont beable to hold it. because you will be numb with an epi. they will also be closing you up while they are checking the baby. dont fret, if youve made it this far, Im sure you and the baby will be fine. If there was anything wrong, you would know by now. Im sure you are considered high risk and have been kept a close eye on. relax and just keep reminding yourself that you have to stay calm. Good luck to you and your family. hope this helped.
