Did they strap your arms to the operating table during your c-section?

Question

I'm just curious. For my first, I had an emergency c-section, and they had me lay my arms out on the table, but they didn't actually strap them down. I've been reading some experiences where they did have their arms strapped down, so I'm wondering which is more common. 
I'm planning on scheduling a c-section for this one due in August, but expect that they probably won't strap my arms for this one either.

Answer

My experience was like yours. I had to pay my arms out but the didn’t strap them.

Answer

Some due bc u lose feeling and gave no control I remember when I had mine the doctor kept asking for someone to move my arm back on the table bc I kept moving it and it was going under the plastic I had no idea😂😂😂

Answer

With my first, they didn't and with the second they did. Same hospital too. My first was an emergency, and my second was planned, but I went into labor first. Idk why they strapped me down for my second and not my first. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

They strapped me down for mine because I started shaking uncontrollably.. I'm having another one on Monday, so I'm curious to what's going to happen this time
