Another C-section question

What is involved in the pre surgical testing procedure for a planned
C-section. How soon before the surgery must it be done and if you opt for a
VBAC, is it still necesarry?

Thanks again for all your help

What is pre surgical testing? If you mean meeting with anesthesiologist,
with my 2nd c-section (1st planned one) I met her the day before the
c-section. With my 2nd planned one (3rd c-section) I met him minutes before.

I don't know what you mean.

You are lucky. Apparently we have to go to the Hospital or doctor to have a
checkup, check heart on monitor and have some blood drawn before any surgery
to make sure all is well. Who needs that?? Enough to worry about. Maybe
this isnt the standard for all, I am in NY.

Thanks

I had to go in to get two or three vials of
blood drawn about 2 days before. Also, we
got preregistered so that we wouldn't have
to do that at 5:30 am on the actual day.
We were going to the hospital almost every
day for a week before the section!

I'd hardly call meeting someone as important as the anesthesiologist 5
minutes prior "lucky". Sounds like you have better care. I've had my
children at 3 different Navy hospitals.

This sounds reasonable to me. You're about to have major abdominal
surgery and that's what the workup would be in the UK for surgery.
