Partners during C-section

Can my partner help me during a Caesarean?

This will depend on the reason for your Caesarean. During an emergency Caesarean everything will happen very quickly and the possibility exists that your partner will not be allowed to be present. It is important to let your doctor know well in advance of the delivery that you wish your partner to be present and he will let you know the criteria under which this will be possible. With a planned Caesarean there is every possibility that your partner will be able to share the experience with you.
