It's the possibility that most hope they don't have to face, but you never know if you and your baby might need an emergency or planned c-section.  If it does come to that, you can still prepare for the best c-section experience you can have.


Things to consider:
- Requesting skin to skin on your chest
- Request your partner or an accompanying family member or friend do skin to skin if you cannot
- Request to stay with your child while being stitched and moved to recovery
- Request sutures instead of staples, mothers with sutures are less likely to have complications and more likely to be satisfied with the stitches and scar appearance (Ob Gyn News)
- If you are morbidly obese, discuss a vertical incision instead of the typical transverse (Ob Gyn News)
- If a c-section is planned and there are no complications, see if you doctor can accommodate you waiting for you to go into labor instead of scheduling a date
