FTM Having a C-Section

Bizbitty

Hi all,

I recently found out I'm pregnant and know that I will have to schedule a C-Section.  I am nervous about not being able to hold baby after the procedure.  I have heard stories of being completely drugged up and want to know about how long until you are actually able to hold baby?  

 

Also, I am absolutely going to breast feed and know that skin to skin contact is important for baby to get connected and what not.  Will not holding baby right away affect this?  

 

It makes me really sad to think I can't hold him/her right away.
