Re: [ozmidwifery] Caesar Question
Don't know if this is the norm but I had the spinal block inserted
between contractions and had to stop them because of contractions ("Like
stop hurting my back i am trying to cope with a contraction - the last
thing I need now is someone hurting me too.!")
My husband said that it was still contracting and the fluid gushed
out in spurts as the uterus contracted as they pulled george out.
Having polyhydramnious they were big gushes!
So he was sure it was still contracting.

Rhonda

Caesar Question
Just one out of interest, and I realise it's not the
specialty of thisforum, however thought that someone may
know.Since a C-sec has recently occurred to someone close to me,
I'm curious...Is the uterus still contracting during surgery, or
is some form of drugadministered to stop it? If it is still
contracting, do they pick baby outbetween contractions, or it doesn't
make any difference, and they get babydespite contractions
occurring?Jo Slamen--This mailing list is

Re: [ozmidwifery] Caesar Question
Jo Usually the use of the anaesthetic (whether it be spinal/epidural or General) often knocks off the contractions alot.Even if the woman has an epidural for her labour they use a stronger dose of drug to top it up for the section. Usually if the woman has been labouring the lower segment can be nicely formed or thinned out, which actually makes a Lower Uterine Segment Section (the preferred option) easier to do. Often when a woman has been labouring for some time there can be lots of what the obs called free fluid just sort of sitting around the uterus prior to opening - don't know the reason for that !(just thought I'd add that useless piece of info !!) I guess what you are thinking of is that the uterus may sort of squeeze the baby and make it difficult to get to - this can happen - the worst breech deliveries I have seen have been CS - where they section a labouring breech - and the head gets mighty stuck because the incision seems to contract around the baby - but of course as we all know(thanks to Hanna and her pals!) - CS is the ONLY way to have a breech baby (BLAH!) lisa - Original Message - From: Jo Slamen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Midwifery List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 10:15 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Caesar Question Just one out of interest, and I realise it's not the specialty of this forum, however thought that someone may know.
