Dr. Elizabeth Walz-Buscher: Now we are just going through some particular tissue. We make a bikini cut through these skin, carry that down through the subcuticular tissue, which is the fatty tissue and then open the strong portion of the abdominal wall, the fascia layer and the muscles. We then open the membranous lining over the abdominal cavity, called the peritoneum. We then dissect the bladder off the uterus up.
Claudia Favela: I just feel -- just a lot of hands, but not -- no pain.
Dr. Elizabeth Walz-Buscher: Do you feel the pressure?
Patient: Just a tiny bit.
Dr. Elizabeth Walz-Buscher: But no sharp pain, right?
Patient: No sharp pain.
Dr. Michele Sproviero: My job is to keep her comfortable during the procedure. Obviously we did something called the spinal block, so she is numb from her chest down and so she is just feeling some pressure right now, but she shouldn't feel any pain. The key is to make sure that she has adequate anesthesia and analgesia, so then she can deliver his baby.
John Martinez: Last time, I really couldn't see, they really kept me sitting down all the time, there are more in here this time. I am looking -- first time I am nervous, first time. Sister I am taking a feel, I am not going to go ahead, please. It looks like they are doing a pretty good job. I just hope those knives don't touch the baby.
