NUH Subsidized Patient - C section

Going for a C-section can be nerve-wracking, especially for first-time moms. Here is a walkthrough of what you can expect at NUH: 1) The injection in your back for the epidural may cause some discomfort, but the medical staff will do their best to make it as bearable as possible. It's normal to feel a pinch or pressure during the injection, but the pain should be manageable. 2) NUH usually allows the husband or a support person to be present during the C-section to provide moral support. Having a familiar face by your side can help ease your anxiety and provide emotional support during the procedure. 3) In most cases, after a C-section at NUH, they often allow you to see your baby first before any other procedures are conducted. This moment can be very special and can help foster the initial bond between you and your newborn. 4) Some things to note before, during, and after the C-section: - Before the procedure, follow all instructions provided by the medical team, such as fasting guidelines or medication intake. - During the C-section, stay as calm as possible, and communicate any concerns or discomfort to the medical staff. Focus on the end goal of a healthy delivery. - After the C-section, follow postoperative care instructions carefully, including wound care, pain management, and physical activity restrictions. Attend all follow-up appointments and reach out to healthcare providers if you have any concerns or questions. Remember to reach out to your healthcare provider at NUH for specific information tailored to your situation. Wishing you a smooth and positive birthing experience! #firsttimemom #worried #advice #Csection #NUH https://invl.io/cll6she
