I had a scheduled c section in Sept! My first was in Nov 19 before everything happened (not a c section).

Obviously we wore masks during preop, in the OR, and right after. Once we moved to postpartum, my husband and visitors wore masks when the nurses/docs came in, but there were times I did not (you will be covid tested upon admission). I had absolutely wonderful nurses (like in 2019), with the exception of one who was awful. I had a reaction to something and was vomiting and it was like she couldn’t be bothered. I did, however, mention it to another nurse and she rolled her eyes and remarked that it was beyond time for that nurse to retire - haha.

Overall, the care seemed like my 2019 experience and the nurses were true blessings. I still think of my L&D nurse from 2019 often (she was a god send!) and one of the overnight nurses in postpartum during my most recent birth. They both helped me through some tough stuff and were genuinely caring and compassionate women.
