CONT

En créant une atmosphère plus intime, la césarienne participative permet d'impliquer davantage les parents. La maman peut par exemple se rendre en marchant en salle d'opération, accompagnée du co-parent (dans le cas d'une césarienne classique, elle arrive seule, couchée sur un lit, et le co-parent ne la rejoint qu'après l'anesthésie). Les parents peuvent choisir une musique et la lumière peut être tamisée. La position du champ opératoire, c'est-à-dire du tissu stérile délimitant la zone de l'intervention chirurgicale, est adaptée afin de permettre à la maman de voir l'arrivée du bébé.
