For elective csect, husband can follow u in OT.. Mine was emergency csect so not sure if its going to be the same as elective. You will be awake and you wont feel anything waist down. The effect of the anaesthesia for me was i was shaking uncontrollably throughout the whole procedure and after.. Csect procedure is very fast. When baby is out, they will show you baby and then you will be wheeled to the observation area. You will be encouraged to walk the next day.. So I was already able to go to the toilet for both businesses / shower the next day without water touching your csect area. You can open the dressing after 7 days and your wound will most likely be dried up and closed by then.. all the best mummy, may all go well for you :)
i went thru emer csect. my husband was not allowed to enter. please be mentally prepared with the csect wound pain when you anaesthesia have worn out. eat your painkiller pills. the recovery process is tough. have somebody to HELP you and your baby. all the best!
