I had a friend who had a c-section with a cold so you may be alright. I can't imagine they would do it if you had the flu or a sickness bug though.
If it were me I would be walking round in a mask and sanitising every handle surface etc.
Fingers crossed you will be OK.

I had a horrible head cold a week or two before my c-section. Three days before, it still hadn't cleared up completely and I was coughing and sneezing. I had my last appointment with my doctor/surgeon that day and I asked him if it would be a problem. He was shaking his head "no" before I even finished the question.

I imagine as long as it's not a serious illness like pneumonia or the flu or something, it's usually not a problem.

You should be fine, but I would keep my distance and use anti bacterial any chance you have

I had an awful cold right before my second section I was just laying in bed coughing into an old pillowcase!! I actually phoned the hospital to check as I was worried due to the coughing and the section wound and also spreading infection but they said it was fine so you should be okay hun x
