What is the process of a cesarean?

Hi. I had an emergency c section. after about two hours of painful pushing. It was horrible. the cord was wrapped around the baby and she was stuck in my pelvic bone. so I had to have the c section. I didn't really want it. I always had a fear of being cut into. but anyway. It wasn't so bad. I was scared, but they do let you see the baby right when it comes out. they give it to you to hold for a minute, then they take it to clean it up and run some tests. I was a little drugged up afterwards for about an hour. but within a half hour, they brought the baby back to my room and I got to hold her. You should be able to feed the baby within the couple hours after your surgery, I believe. Just to warn you though, is that it does really hurt after the surgery. You will be so sore and aching, it will hurt to move at all, or try to get out of bed or anything. so, you can hold the baby, but you probably won't be able to really do alot of stuff with her, such as changing her diaper, and feeding her on your own, because you cant really move around alot after a c section because of the pain. but its ok. you can still hold her and be there with her, but just let the nurses help you and take her to the nursery when you have to sleep and rest. you need all the rest you can get. it will be ok though. good luck to you.
