and I can tell you with great confidence that you should go to your rush parties. As was pointed out earlier, you won't be allowed in the surgical suite during the procedure. Afterwards there is an hour or so in post op and then your sister will be in her room for the next few days (I spent 5 days in the hospital). Since this is her first baby, the whole situation will be a whirlwind for her, the baby and her hubby. My first child was a c section, too. I think a regualr phone call to check in on her would be plenty fine. I didn't want any visitors at all while I was in the hospital because you just feel so sort of yuck for a while. Let her rest, bond with her babies and get her rest (recouperation is no fun either) and then visit her when she is feeling better at home. It is't cold hearted at all. You can call her every day and give her the play by play of your rush parties. It would be a nice distraction.
