2nd C-Section

H 💍👧🏼👶🏼🤰🏼

I will be having my second c-section a little over 2 years after my first. With my daughter, I hardly saw her the first hour of her life. She was taken from the OR after about 2 minutes. My husband went with her. They did her first bath and gave her formula because her sugar was a little low. This was all before I held her and before I got to try nursing. Now I’m not complaining. She’s healthy and happy and that’s all that matters! But I wish I’d spent more of that time with her. I wish I’d had skin to skin. Been able to try nursing. Not been alone in the OR listening to them talk about stitching me up. I really want to talk to my doctor about spending more of that time with the baby after my upcoming c-section (assuming everything goes fine and baby and I are doing well). Does anyone have advice on how to talk to my doctor about this? What do I say? How do I get him to take me seriously without coming across as whining or complaining? Thank you!!
