sleepymonkey I don't think you'll actually see yourself open. My understanding is the screen they'll open will be above that so you'll see baby about a second after being pulled out. I've heard a lot of good things about gentle c's
Um...a really great name!! That's what kind of name Oliver is!
Thank you! We think so, too!
We love Oliver!!! MH has a big client with the name so he said we can't use it (plus initials would be OO but H actually likes that) but it was the first boy name we both liked!! I'm so glad you're using it for your bub!

@crazynavywife - Oh no! I was super worried while they did our flooring they would drop something on it and put a dent in the new floors or scratch them. So far I haven't found any issues in the month since. Hope they can get the new window ordered quickly!
I could not watch either sleepymonkey I've gotten a lot tougher through this process, but I do have a line! I've never heard of a gentle c section?!? What's that??
From what I know, the biggest thing is that it allows for skin-to-skin contact right after delivery. They also deliver the baby slower to allow the chest to squeeze out fluid from the lungs. It's supposed to help the mom feel more connected to the birth, which I can totally appreciate after DD's birth. I only saw her for a few seconds after she had been cleaned up and wrapped and then I didn't see her again for almost an hour while I was stitched up and then sent to recovery. I felt like everyone got to meet her before me and it still bothers me.

I've heard about these in the last few months and watched a video of one because I was curious. It looks strange because it's so different than a standard c-section, but I hear good things.
H thinks it's crazy, but that's mostly the doctor in him talking.

So if for some reason I have to have a csection I have to be put under general. DH has been given strict instructions that NO ONE is allowed to see babies before I do. It's my right as their mother to see them and hold them first. So if they go to the nursery while I'm waking up and in recovery then DH is to make sure none of the family rushes over to see them. It's selfish of me. Don't curr.

Not selfish! They're YOUR babies and you worked hard for them!

My BFF got to feed my DS1 before I even got to really see him. I cried when DH showed me the picture he took. I mean she's wonderful and actually his godmother now, but yeah, that hurt a lot. I had a csection at 34 wks and he was whisked away to nicu while I had to stay in bed (pre-e, could not get up for 24hrs).

My sister has also been forbidden to take any pictures of them. Because she's proven time and time again that she can't be trusted. She posted on Facebook that I was engaged before I did for crying out loud.

Has most certainly lost her photo privileges then!
We are going to implement the same rule with our family. They get access to our private photo album and can take pics on their phone/camera for their own personal use, but if they post any of them online, no more photo taking for them and I will revoke their rights to the album.
I can't figure out if we're going to continue to have tights weather or go straight to spring. If we do have cooler weather for the next month or so, I think I need new tights. Mine are getting... tight, for lack of a better word. Recs? Just buy a size up? Maternity ones?

Not selfish!!!
I learned the hard way that you need to be explicit about this type of thing because no one else will consider your feelings and wishes unless your specific.
Okay that sounds way too dramatic. 😅 Basically h's grandma announced our son's birth with full details and a picture on Facebook while I was in recovery because h sent out a text with the info and a picture to our family.

Not selfish at all! It is something that has bothered me since having DD. If I get skin-to-skin time with DS, I am ok with others seeing him in the nursery. Except DD. That is where I put my foot down this time and while people around me don't really understand, I don't care. She is going to be with my in-laws and they have explicit instructions that they are not to come to the hospital with her until we call them. I absolutely insist on being there when DD sees/meets her baby brother for the first time. My parents will probably be there when I have the c-section because it is important to my mom to see me and make sure I'm ok as soon as she can (she came to recovery to see me as soon as she could while everyone was still staring at DD in the nursery.)

Not selfish one bit!!! It is 100% completely your right as their mother to see them before other family members get to.

Of course now that I think about it, I have a smallish fear that while MIL says she will stay back with DD, she will end up showing up at the hospital before we call anyway since she doesn't really understand my reasoning. Kind of like when they were supposed to come up sometime during the morning of my induction with DD (they live an hour and a half away) but called us the night before to tell us they were at a hotel in town because they didn't want to miss anything. Ugh.
@terrain that happened with ds2. Someone texted congrats before I even got comfy in the recovery room. I even asked her if she got a dressed baby pic because I was afraid the naked one had been sent around.
Yes she is. And if she doesn't understand or agree with what you want, she will just ignore your wishes as soon as your back is turned. I'm going to ask my dad to be on the lookout for my in-laws while I'm in recovery and if they show up with DD, he can take her away until we're ready for her.
