My first c-section I had them after the injections after as my mother in law is a nurse so she did them for me. But this time round my mums doing them so I’m scared😂 and what’s your reason for refusing them? X
Its a personal reason. Blood products carry contaminants i would like to avoid.
@Chloe are you talking about blood products or blood thinners?
Oh I’m on about blood thinners x
No one is going to force blood products on you just because. It’s not like the whole procedure is without risks. If you are serious about refusing even in a life threatening situation then you have to speak to an obstetrician and everything has to be properly documented
Like Jana said no one can force you to have blood products if you don’t want them. I would definitely discuss your wishes before hand (not on the day of your section) with your obstetrician. They can explain the risks but also the alternatives (cell salvage, iron infusions ect). It’s important the team know your wishes in different situations for example bleeding they would usually transfuse for versus in the very rare instance you were to have a life threatening bleed, would you then accept anything.
What’s your reason for refusal?
