Birth plan: dim the lights during my abdominal surgery and smear vaginal discharge on my baby’s face

Um nope this will not be physically possible because of the drugs they give you, you aren’t allowed to BF baby for 24 hours post c-section. If you have a c-section tour baby will be reviving formula unless you were able to pump and store before the surgery. Also because of the drugs, you are bedbound for a minimum of 12 hours, that cath is staying in.

And there is no skin-to skin allowed in the OR, the surgical techs/assistants create a sterile field to be skeins the open wound to minimize the risks of infection. The curtain they put up is part of helping contain the sterile field and they would not move that aside to let baby be put on your chest.
