I remember lots of pressure and tugging. But I was numb from my boobs down (they got me real good with the spinal lol). They also put a heated blanket over my chest cause I was freezing. When they position the table you may have the sensation that you're going to fall off. You are not. You are strapped down and going no where lol. My doctor was short so the table was positioned on a slight angle, I thought I was going to slide off. Here are the steps from what I remember:

1. Spinal- and they said to swing my legs onto the table as quick as I could...haha yeah right they had to help me lay down.

2. Drapes - my hospital apparently has ones with a window now so I can watch...I don't think I'll be opting for that. Plus my husband would probably pass out.

3. Catheter and the air pumper circulation leg things. I blocked the thought of the catheter happening out. But you don't feel anything. They also put on those white things to help your circulation since you're numb and can't stretch on your own.

4. Husband comes in and sits by your head.

5. Docs come in and do their Time Out.

6. The big show.

7. Shows baby over the curtain .

8. They check over the baby and ask dad if he wants to cut the cord.

9. They finish closing you up while you meet the baby. My nurses offered to take a picture while we were in the OR. Like head and up.

10. Once closed they take you to recovery.

Recovery was a whole different realm of things happening. You might meet the lactation consultant there. Nurses cleaned up my lady bits (like a sponge bath) and stomach and put the mesh panties and a pad on for me. But the baby is with you the whole time.

If you have any questions regarding the process ask your OB. Different hospitals have different routines.

You're gonna do great momma.
