76. Cesarean birth: The sequence of events with OBGYN Dr. Kate Collins


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Kelowna based OBGYN Dr. Kate Collins to discuss: 

  • The stress that uncertainty and lack of control can have on an expecting mom
  • How far out can moms planning a c-section expect to know their delivery date?
  • The sequence of events that unfolds once you arrive at the hospital
  • How is this different in an emergency situation?
  • When is my husband/partner/support allowed in the room?
  • How is the birth site prepared and anaesthesia administered? 
  • Who will the people be in the delivery room?
  • What layers of tissue are affected with the incision?
  • What can you expect to feel during the c-section?
  • What determines staples, sutures or tape to close incision?
  • What do you need to know about your incision afterwards? 
  • Can compression be used afterwards for comfort? 
  • The importance of rest afterwards

Dr. TB Kate Collins is a general obstetrician gynecologist currently working at KGH in Kelowna, BC.  She is originally from Nova Scotia and graduated from Dalhousie Medical School. She then went on to complete her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Alberta, finishing in 2014.  Dr. Collins practiced in Calgary prior to moving to the Okanagan in 2017.  Her current practice covers the breadth of Obstetrics & Gynecology with a special interest in minimally invasive gynecology and high risk obstetrics.
