Answering Your Questions About C-Sections!

Jan 20, 2020

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!

1. What are some reasons why a C-section is warranted?
2. What can I expect when I go the hospital for my scheduled C-section?
3. Can you still do skin-to-skin?
4. Can you be awake in an emergency C-section if you haven’t had an epidural/spinal block?
5. How long after my C-section can I start massaging my scar?
6. If you have an anterior placenta, how does the surgeon know where the placenta is before they cut?
7. Why can’t I eat or drink before the C-section?
8. Do they cut through your old scar for repeat C-sections?
9. Any tips or tricks to distract me so I can handle the spinal?
10. Why did I vomit so much during my C-section? Will that happen again?
11. Why do your feet swell up again after your C-section?
12. Can a C-section affect your milk supply?
