I still remember this day, preparing for C-section.

My mom was here to help me and i was so nervous, anxious and i recalled asking my mother

 “Mom i am so scared! Do you have any idea what is going to happen next” 

        and her reply was

” I am scared too! I have no idea how a c-section is performed!”

Her reaction was so hilarious, we had a good laugh before my prep.

My Nurse came with a bag of cute crochet caps for me to select for my Little one.

Preparing for my C-section

• Doc told me to restrict solid foods for eight hours before the C-section.
• After reaching the Hospital, I was introduced to my Nurse. 
• I bathed with special soap – The goal is to kill bacteria on the skin and reduce the risk of infection following your C-section.
• Discussed how my incisions would be closed with my obstetricians.
• Discussed pain management with my Anesthesiologists.

What to expect in the Operating Room  

The care team will perform these three steps right before surgery:

• My Anesthesiologists performed Spinal anesthesia.
• Foley catheter was inserted, basically it’s a sterile tube used to drain your bladder,
• Sequential compression device was placed on my legs, which promotes adequate blood flow and prevents blood clots.
