A C section is performed by using a regional anesthetic, which will numb the lower part of your body, allowing you to be awake during the operation. The reason for this is that both you and your baby are much safer than when a general anesthetic is used. The anesthetic is injected in to your spine, which is called an epidural and at the same time you may be given the choice of having a pain relieving injection that which help your post c section operation pain relief.
You will also have a catheter inserted in to your bladder to empty it's contents because when you've had the anesthetic, you won't be able to tell if it needs emptying. The operation itself will normally take around 30 – 45 minutes to complete, although emergency operations can be done in under 30 minutes.
During the c section operation, a screen will be placed over your stomach to block your view although you can request it be taken away if you'd prefer to watch. The operating table will be tilted sideways in order to lessen the likelihood of suffering from low blood pressure. This tactic also relieves any sickness you may feel as it reduces any pressure on the tummy area.
The c section incision is usually made horizontally across the lower abdomen at the top of the pubic bone, just along the bikini line. The wall of the womb is then cut through to allow the safe delivery of your baby. Your baby is then removed through the opening.
There is occasionally a chance that your baby's skin can be cut when performing a c section, but this is only usually a superficial cut and is quite rare, in fact statistics show that only around 2 out of every 100 babies are affected in this way.
After your baby has been removed, the wall of the womb will be repaired with dissolvable stitches and the abdominal wall fastened together using either suture (dissolvable stitches) or staples. Finally you may be given antibiotics and an injection of the hormone Oxytocin which helps to slow down blood loss and assists your womb to contract. Don't worry, you'll usually be able to hold your baby straight away after the birth even after having a c section.
