Can my husband still cut the umbilical cord if I have a C-section?

Question

Just looking for some infos.

Answer

Neither hospital I delivered at would allow it because the area behind the curtain has to remain surgical sterile. If you get an infection, the hospital is liable. So, it depends on them. You can call and ask or even ask your dr.

Answer

Yes, the doctors cut it to a certain length and then let my husband cut the rest.

Answer

As long as you are awake during your c section and the baby isn't having complications- yes.

Answer

It really just depends. If it's a planned csection then usually yes but if it's an emergency then it will depend on the situation

Answer

Mine did not get to, but my csection was an emergency because her heart rate dropped.

Answer

Yes! He can.  He is permitted in the room with you.
