In the month before your admission, you will have the opportunity to attend an information session. During this session you will receive more information about the preparation for your surgery, your hospitalization and further rehabilitation. It is important that you know about this before your surgery. You can opt for a physical information session in the hospital, or you will be digitally forwarded some videos via e-mail.

The video below already contains a lot of information about what to expect.

Breastfeeding is not always easy in the beginning. Talk to your partner so she feels supported and knows she is not alone. Show interest in breastfeeding and her feelings. It is nice to limit visits as much as possible in the beginning so you can adjust in peace. During breastfeeding itself you can't do anything but you can help change diapers, give a bath, play and cuddle with the baby to strengthen the bond. You may also definitely help be alert for hunger signals and watch to see if the baby is drinking properly. Be understanding to your partner and give compliments to boost her confidence. 

In the beginning it is only a few drops of milk but these give a bomb of energy. It is normal for your baby to lose weight in the first few days. His birth weight will be regained after an average of 14 days. If your baby drinks well you will hear him swallowing and sucking. He will be relaxed after feeding and fall asleep spontaneously. It is normal if your baby wants to drink more in the evening. Once home, he should have a minimum of six pee diapers a day. Your baby is satisfied when he is calm after feeding.

In local anesthesia, only the part of the body to be operated on is made pain-free by injecting local anesthetics around the nerves, disabling them. This means you remain awake during the procedure. However, something may be administered that will make you drowsy.

The anesthesia can be administered in several ways:

• lumbar puncture: numbs the lower part of the body. Depending on the surgery, you will feel this anesthesia from the chest or from the umbilical region to the toes. The anesthesiologist injects numbing fluid into the spinal canal through a thin needle.
• neck or armpit prick: numbs only the arm. The nerves are searched with a thin needle that emits small currents. Each time the needle hits a nerve, you feel a slight electric shock in your arm. This is how the anesthesiologist determines the right place to numb.
• regional intravenous anesthesia (RIVA): numbs only the arm. With RIVA anesthesia, the numbing fluid is injected into a vein in the forearm. After a few minutes, the arm is completely numb.
