Planned C section at BCW [bc]

Hi everyone! I will have a planned c section due to my breech baby at BC women’s hospital in a couple weeks and wanted to see if some of you would be willing to share your experiences.

We’re planning to do the private room through the Brightstart Bundle, but heard that the c section recovery rooms are the old rooms. Is this true? Does the Brightstart Bundle not change anything?

I’m also wondering what the scheduling is like on the day of. I think you have to get there two hours before your scheduled time. How long does the procedure take until I’m sewn up and okay to hold the baby again after the initial skin to skin?

Last question is - can I have my mom there on top of my partner? I’m wondering when she should arrive at the hospital relative to the surgery time. She’s older so I don’t want her waiting around for hours in case it’s quite awhile.

Any input is so appreciated! Thanks in advance .
