I had a vaginal there and didn’t get skin to skin right away. Baby was a rough delivery and they whisked him away to about 6 waiting people. |
+100 it's a major procedure. They need a few minutes to get everything done safely for you and the baby. They handed ours to DH pretty quickly and as others said laid high up on my chest for a short while and photos. For one baby, I got to hold him in the recovery room and had him continuously after. Other baby needed to go to the NICU. I still BF'd for over a year. This small stuff looks large but doesn't matter. Kids are now a little older but real snugglers. There are hours and days and years ahead to bond. |
When my kids were born, it wasn't even a thing. |
