Regarding breastfeeding immediately after a cesarean. I'm wondering if
breastfeeding would be contraindicated due to the uterine contractions a
woman has post partum. I have now had two cesareans, and in both cases, held
my babies while in the OR, and nursed once I was in recovery. It seems to me
that if a woman was experiencing uterine contractions while a surgeon was
trying to close her uterus, there might be some complications. But, perhaps
this happens anyway and is already dealt with.
