I found out today at my appt that I have to have a c-section due to a low lying placenta. Can anyone explain the process to me and how long after will inbe able to be with my baby.

^that basically sums it up...during healing it's usually a 3 day hospital stay they get u up walking around surprisingly not long afterwards ie to the washroom and what not..and healing is based on how ur body copes..my 1st I had to stay at hospital for 4 days because I got an infection and so had a tougher healing time...my 2nd I healed a lot faster and felt like myself in no time

You go into hospital..they give you these wipes to sanitize your body..they get your hospital bracelets on you also first..they bring you to the operating room..give you spinal which numbs ya super quick..they lay ya down put the covering across so you cant see what is going on..you feel a bit of tugging..and before ya know it baby is out..while they are sewing ya up nurses are cleaning baby up weighing them..same room if baby is healthy..then they wheel you and baby to the next area until you can feel your feet and they make you do deep breaths so you dont get pneumonia while baby is there with you..then they bring ya to the recovery room which is the room ya stay til you leave..baby is basically with you through the whole process..it sounds like alot but it all goes so quick! It was easier for me than my other 2 vag..dont worry! You will do  great
