It's up to the hospital, and it depends on why she is having a c-section.
Bear in mind that a c-section is an actual surgical procedure - the patient is having an operation - and there are already a heck of a lot of people and equipment in the room.
Hospitals usually like to minimise all possible risks during surgery, especially the risk of infection, so if the mother is conscious during the delivery they normally only allow one support person in, and that person has to stay by the mother's head and not walk around the room or touch anything. Having an extra non-medical person in the room just adds to the risk.
However, what normally happens after an epidural c-section, if the mother and the baby are otherwise healthy, is that the baby is taken to be checked, weighed, measured etc and the mother's support person goes with the baby while the surgeons and anaesthatists attend to stabilising the mother, suturing the c-section wound, which takes about 20 minutes or so, and catheterising and then removing the epidural.
Perhaps if the hospital will only let her husband in the actual operating theatre, they may allow her brother to be immediately on hand after the birth to be present while the baby is checked over?
Hospistals are well used to families wanting to be present at births and try to accomodate wherever possible, however a c-section delivery is a surgical procedure and due care must be taken.

Not usually there are so many doctors in the room and neonatal people in the small rooms that they do c-sections in. They only allow one person in the room and they sit by your head. They are not allowed to touch anything that is blue which is everything covered by the clothes that help protect the mother from possible infections. 1 person and no touching. I have never heard of a hospital that would allow someone let alone 2 people to remove the baby from the mothers stomach. Frankly if they do that is one hospital I would want to stay away from.

No, no longer in my experience. The C-area, jointly as very secure and habitual, nevertheless comes with possibility, like various surgical operation. they do no longer enable babies in there for 3 motives, i've got self assurance... a million. Sterility. Small little ones, even your guy or woman, may be risky to you and the infant once you're so vulnerable. the possibility the youngster may be incubating hen pox, be a strep provider, or have a chilly, is available to the sterility of the working room and your and the hot infant's common wellbeing. 2. C-Sections seem extraordinarily gruesome, lol. If the youngster misbehaves in any respect, as maximum infants do, and springs around to get a seem at what's occurring, it particularly is annoying for the youngster...your physique is open extraordinarily extensive. additionally, the youngster would be unable to be entrusted to no longer seize contraptions, run into issues, or get scared and panic. 3. If something does go incorrect, even something minor, the medical doctors might desire to have each and all of the gap this is obtainable to them, and the main sterile ecosystem as achievable. An emergency concern could reason a baby to panic, and/or the youngster could by twist of destiny get in the wellbeing care provider's way. The husband, who's allowed in the surgical operation room with you, is dressed from head to toe in sterile scientific institution kit, and he's given specific training on the thank you to act, and the place to stand. a baby can not stick to those regulations as heavily and so for this reason would be unable to be in the room. A C-area, jointly as habitual, continues to be a significant surgical operation.

I've had a few friends that have had c-sections plus I worked in NICU's for a while. Usually only one person is allowed in the room, one of my friends in-laws were able to stand in like an observation room. I did know a couple that the doctor allowed her mother in the room but she had to stand in the back away from the table and her daughter and wasn't allowed to approach until the incision was sutured.

It just depends on the Hospitals policy. Some hospitals allow only one person in the surgery room while others allow two. Your sister in law might have been better to check the rules before she invited anyone but I hope it works out for her!

I guess she can ask, but they only let my husband in. There's so much going on and a c-section is more dangerous than a vaginal delivery so it's not fun and games. Well, neither is vaginal delivery, but they seem to let more people in for that. It is a sterile environment more so with a c-section and they have to scrub and put on scrubs. But, every hospital and doctor are different and allow different things. She'd need to ask them.

In my experience with friends who have had c-sections, they usually only allowing one person (usually the father) to be in the room at the mother's head for the birth.

Just one person, it depends on who the mother wants to be in there. Also whether or not the father wants to go in there and it also depends on how much of a bad shape your sis in laws may be in.
