Cesarean at mount Elizabeth orchard

I'm going for cesarean in 2 weeks time but I am very nervous about it.I dun know what is expect.e.g.will the nurse insert the urine bag before sending to operating theatre. Will I have skin time with newborn straight after op or only after I send back to general ward.If baby goes to NICU,will I be able to ask the nurse to send the baby to my room for awhile then send back to NICU?

when you check in, they will first clear your bowel. so the nurse will be insert some laxative pump thingy into your butt which is a little uncomfortable.. after that wear your operating gown, go to operating theatre. then anesthesia doc will will inject on your hand which is a little painful then put in the drip. when done, he will ask you to sit up and inject the epidural. after epidural take effect then the insert the urine bag. when baby is born the skin moment is only for a short while then the baby will go with the father for checking while you are having stitches.. you will see the baby at general ward after that. lol my c sec in 2 days time..zz
