If possible, I would like to have immediate skin-to-skin contact with my baby after the C-section, even if we need to do it in the recovery room.
I would prefer delayed cord clamping (waiting 1-3 minutes) even in the case of a C-section.
I would like to remain awake and alert during the procedure, if possible. Please ensure I am well-informed and comfortable throughout the process.
I prefer that the baby be placed directly on my chest or brought to me immediately after the procedure, if medically safe.
If possible, I would like my partner (or doula) to be with me during the C-section.
If allowed, please provide a clear drape so I can see the birth of my baby.
Exclusive breastfeeding right after birth, Try to avoid formula or pacifiers unless medically necessary
Exclusive formula feeding or combination feeding, Formula feeding as needed if breastfeeding doesn't work out
