Lowering of drape

Hi all, I'm 30 weeks and having a planned c section due to significant damage from a 3rd degree tear with my first. I didn't bond with my son till about 14 months and am looking at the different choices I can make with the c section experience for my birth plan. Something that has come up is the drape screen being lowered at the point of delivery to see baby being born. After such an awful bond last time I am wondering if this could be helpful to stop things feeling disconnected but straight up am nervous about what I might see! Does anyone have an experience of this they could share and how they felt about it?

Elective C-Section

I have mine next month and was wondering the best advice/things for postpartum are?

Feeling incredibly anxious but cannot wait to have my girl in my arms🥰

Pressure

Does anyone else keep randomly getting really intense downwards pressure into their bum? Or is this just me😂🥲

Induction vs C Section

Hi All!
I’ve recently found out that I can’t go to my due date (for a couple reasons). I initially had my sights set on a natural birth in the birthing centre but now that’s obviously not on the cards!

I’ve been reading a lot online & speaking to people and I’m really torn on an induction or planned c section. I’d love to be able to give birth naturally but I don’t want it to be a long process that ultimately ends in a c section?! I’ve also got GBS so I’m more concerned about a long labour.

I have an appointment coming up with a consultant to discuss but I’d really like to have my own “plan” on what I’d like before I go to the appointment.

So… anyone with prior experience… planned c section or induction? What would/did you choose?

Thank you💖
