Childbirth with Sectio Caesaria (SC) aka caecar surgery. Your unique experience in childbirth should not be underestimated just because you did not give birth naturally. And this is roughly the unique experience that if you plan to have a cesarean delivery.
Left shy at home
In a healthy and full of consciousness, before entering the operating room pubic hair is shaved by someone we don’t even know. Generally, midwives are girls, but still other people. After that, he will insert a catheter tube that will become a friend until after surgery. Yes, he put a hose in our hole to pee. And after the surgery we are bathed by nurses. Whose name is bathing it must be naked. So … Relax, and open your legs, dear.
Single fighter who was beaten
Caesarian is a formidable single fighter. How come? He fought alone, beaten by several paramedics and at least three specialist doctors: obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and pediatricians. There was no husband or close relatives accompanying us in the operating room as we struggled to deliver the baby to the world.
Can hear everything but!
Helpless. This is fun. During the operation, we were sedated spinal. Half the body down is numb. I can’t even move the big toe. But we are aware. We know very well what happens in the operating room through the listener’s senses. In addition to the sound of hospital beeps, I can clearly hear what topics are the talk of doctors and medical personnel throughout the operation.
Believe it or not, during the operation, the medical team that handled me was joking about the Go-Jek controversy. This topic spreads to the point that if this medical worker loses his job, better become a motorcycle taxi driver or a salon worker? Huft! I want to answer, but how come I’m weak. Can’t get up either. Alright.
Thank you, Curtain!
We are grateful to the curtain that stretches across our chests. Thanks to the curtain, we don’t need to see the blood and the operation procedure.
Was crucified but not what you imagined
Regardless of religion and belief, all Caesarian women must be crucified during the operation. Why..? The operating bed has ‘wings’ that can be stretched into crosses. During the operation, our hands were tied to the wings. So it’s similar to being crucified
Overhauled doctor
If SC the baby can jump out on its own from the stomach like that? Yeah, is definitely not. Caesarian mothers did not push, but we were crushed by doctors. It can be one or two doctors, depending on strength. They push the stomach from above us so that the baby soon comes out. Sick? Nope. It was drugged. Nothing feels, other than the sensation of soothing when the baby is being pushed down and out.
When the curtain is opened
Finally! Operation complete. Leave Go-Jek lumps, hospital beeps, and the clink of clashing medical equipment in the operating room. Once the curtain on the chest is opened, get ready to go to the room. In other words, we will enjoy the sensation of the effects of anesthetics that decrease slowly (but surely), which begin with teeth chilling cold.
Wanted: Tough Nurse!
Postoperatively, our lives depend on tough nurses. Nurses here are not the profession of the hospital person, but the family or relatives who care for us. They must always be on one alert, without being tired, and not afraid of blood.
At least the first 24 hours after surgery, we can not take care of ourselves let alone care for babies. Well, this nurse who handles everything from changing diapers, get the baby from the carriage to the mattress for breastfeeding. He also feeds us to eat and drink, watching urine in the catheter bag, fetching things, even changing pads. Thank you, Mr. Husband and Mother, They are a Tough Nurse!
Sleeping on its side is an achievement, sitting upright is a champion
We were awarded an incision about 15 cm below the stomach by the SC. It’s not blisters, it’s an incision. So the pain is really terrible, can not be underestimated. Instead of getting out of bed, motion when lying down still hurts. Even so, we had to practice sleeping on our side. Yes, sleep on your side. Being able to sleep on their side one minute a day after surgery is an achievement, especially if you can sit. Wow, champ!
Breathing exercises for sneezing and coughing
Is it not sneezing that annoying? Even more annoying if you have to hold back a sneeze and cough too. Sneezing and coughing after SC can be a real disaster. The pounding in the stomach when sneezing, you know, the pain. So rather than broken stitches, the stomach is more abysmally, just hold a cough and sneeze for sometime. Hehe..
“Can you sit down, ma’am?”
Every so many hours, nurses enter the room. Either check blood pressure, check infusion, and so on. And every nurse who enters, I repeat, EVERY nurse who enters will ask, “Can you sit down, Ma’am?”.
Actually I still have a lot to tell about the experience of giving birth by cesarean section. but because I have to take care of your little one so I will continue later.
