But if not just know that all they are doing to trying to make this birth as SAFE as possible for the BOTH of you. :)
And as Tina said, they normally don't allow the mother to watch the C-Section anyway. I know I didn't get to watch. But It was wonderful seeing PJ when he was lifted up and out.
I wish you the very best Robin and I'll pray that the Dr's make the right choices to keep you as safe as possible. :)

He will have a son...they have to do what is best for you and baby.
It will not be the same but you will hear plenty of crying. Hang in there and take care. 10|1|When do you see the neurologist? Be gentle to yourself-- you didn't do anything to cause this or to make this happen...|sunriver|sunriver@gmail.com|11:45:00|10/01/2010|
And I know it has to be so hard, but try and stay positive between now and then. Doctors are wrong all the time and who knows what will happen for sure until it happens.
Worst case scenario here would be if you are put under (and I had that with one of mine and yes it was really hard and very different from the c-sections where I was awake and got to see the baby right after.) So let's create a plan for the worst case so that you can find some peace with it between now and then. Ask if they will consider having a nurse pick up your video camera right after and tape his first minutes. Or if the camera could be set up in the area where they will take the baby to do the apgars? Express to the doctors how much Jeremy wants to get to the baby as quickly as possible as that will ease both of your minds a little bit. Put it in writing and give it to each doctor involved. You might find someone in that hospital who will wind up as your advocate and it could be as smooth as you could hope.
If that worst case happens it will be all that much more important that they get the baby to you as soon as they can. Put in writing that as soon as possible you want him on you/with you. Ask ahead of time any questions you have regarding breastfeeding, if Timothy can still room in with you, etc.
I can just imagine that getting this info probably made you feel helpless and that is never a good feeling. Anything you can do to get some of that power back will probably go a long way in helping you deal with whatever happens.
Hang in there. Sending you another hug too. 11|2|It will be up to a month before I see the neurologist (M)|RobinsCrazyWorld|robinmarie72@gmail.com|12:37:16|10/01/2010|
My doctor said there is a very high chance that we will have to take Timothy before the November 22nd date. If that happens I will automatically be put under. We have been working on birth plans in our baby class for almost 2 months. I never in a million years thought of an issue like this. I have had more then a dozen spinal taps and thought this would be no different. But taking fluid out and putting something in are worlds apart. The possibilities of what could go wrong left a whole in my stomach. I know that whatever happens is for the best, but it is very upsetting to think that the first few moments Jeromy and I have sent hours in the middle of the night talking about may be completely taken away (seeing him lifted out, hearing his first cry.) I will make a list of what is important to us and bring it when I see my doctor next. I will see what they can and can not do. As long as Timothy comes into the world healthy, I don't see why he can't be taken into another room and have Jeromy with him. I just talked to Jeromy, freaked him out a bit because I started balling when he called and I am not a cryer. I said I was upset that everyone he would first see would be a stranger to him... Then I thought even J and I will be strangers to him! This will be my 9th operation.... When I first went though my major medical crisis 15 or so years ago it was much different. The meds they used were much harder to deal with then what I have dealt with over the past 3 years. Talking to the doctor yesterday it sounds like this will be rough. He said that they used the older meds because they are safer for the baby. They also get you completely ready all the way down to the surgeon having the instrument in hand before they put you under. They need the baby out even faster then the 5 minutes they have with a normal c-section. I have even considered putting off having my tubes tied during my c-section to cut down on the time I am under. The longer you are under the longer it takes to get the crap out of you. I know in the end I will have my baby. It is just very disappointing to think that those first few precious to, the moments that we have been so looking forward to, the cry that lets you know he IS here and seeing it for yourself may be taken away. After all we have been through with this pregnancy so far, the trips to L&D, the worries about my age and health and how that will affect him, those first few moments were the ones we counted on to see that it was all good.

12|3|((((((((((((Robin)))))))))))))))))))) So sorry you will miss those things, but remember, you werent even supposed to be able to be pregnant. So this little miracle will never be a stranger to you or Jeromy because of the special bond between you 3. I hope they are wrong, but if not, I t is to keep you and Timmy safe.

18|3|Robin, somehow I think you will know, even if you have to be put under.....|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|18:38:18|10/01/2010|
I had my son C-section. I had a spinal but I was still somewhat groggy. When they took out my son, they laid him on my chest next to my cheek. I was groggy but I remember him next to me & how warm he was clear as a bell. I also remember looking at the clock as soon as they took him out of my stomach & seeing the exact time.
When they take your son out of your stomach, I'm sure they will set him on you, next to your cheek so you & he can feel each other, but you can mention it to you dr. just to be sure. Even if you're put under, somehow you will know, you will sense that miraculous little being next to you & feel his warmth & softness, & know he's safe just as he'll know & sense that he's safely next to his mama. And you will never forget that feeling. ;)
And even if you're put under, ask if Jeromy can't be in scrubs right outside the ER door so that he'll be able to hear Timothy if he cries & maybe have one of the nurses take him to the door, while the drs. continue to attend to you, so Jeromy can sneak a quick peek at him before they take him to the nursery....

13|1|Robin, I am sorry that a joy that you thought you were going to experience probably isn't going to happen, but then, you have defied those odds in the first place by becoming pregnant with Baby Timothy.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|13:46:13|10/01/2010|
Baby Timothy, no matter whom he sees first will know that you are his momma and that Jeromy is his daddy just by the love in your hearts when you first hold him.
That is the most important, everything else is secondary.
Best wishes and prayers for a quick and safe delivery of Baby Timothy.
Life is like a cup of tea,
It's all in how you make it.

you and the baby. A few hours will be a mear drop in the bucket for the life time of heath and happiness you will share together. They want to be sure everything is okay and you are all around for the hours, days, weeks, and years to come. A couple hours may be a very small price to pay for a life time of happiness and memories. Trust me he already knows you guys. He has hear your voices for a long time now. He will know you are mommy & daddy. Best of luck and I pray all goes well. 15|1|baby timothy|morninglory42|morninglory42@hotmail.com|14:45:54|10/01/2010|
I had all 3 or my children c-section and didn't get to see the first 2 for hours later.I was just so thankful they were alright.I smothered them with love afterward to be sure.My last one I had a spinal block and did get to hear his first cry.Only thing that matters really is they arrive safely.Best of luck.Had a good friend that lost their first baby,a beautiful baby girl and she strangled on her own poop as she was coming down the canal.They since just had twin girls born by c-section and are doing great.Have faith,there is a reason for everything. 16|2|My son Matthew was born on the 20th his exact due date|slimnlady|slimnlady@aol.com|14:53:08|10/01/2010|

You at least know it is a possibility, so you can prepare yourself and definitely ask about J being there because though you are asleep, he should still be able to hang out by your head... or be in the room at least! But really, if you were an emergency and they said they needed to put you out to get him out ASAP, you'd agree without even thinking about it because that's what moms do. We love our babies! You wouldn't argue, you'd just say put me under ;)

He is healthy and you will have a lifetime with him. Think about all the good things and dont worry over what you cant control. This happened to me with my first son. It was an emergency c section so I was put to sleep. I was so happy to see him when I woke up and felt so blessed that he was ok (he was in fetal distress) They had to knock me out and get him out asap, think of the lifetime you will have with him.... 22|1|I've been thinking about your Robin and am getting ready to send out a package to you the middle of Oct...I'm sorry you're disappointed about the possibility of being under while they do the C-Section, I've had 3 C-sections and the first one I had to be put under, it's hard but at the same time keeping you healthy is important too (((HUGS)))~*~|RebekkaVA|queen_vulture@msn.com|16:44:02|10/02/2010|
