[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a C section but not at Sibley. You can’t get immediate skin to skin because as other posters explained the pediatricians have to do delayed cord cutting, Apgar tests, and very importantly suction out fluid in the lungs (normally that fluid is squeezed out through the birth canal). They’re working on stitching you up during that time though and the moment I was out of the operating room they handed me my baby for chest skin to skin for at least an hour. So you will still get the skin to skin ASAP just not *immediately*[/quote] This was our experience with a C-section at Sibley. It didn't matter for us, because my wife was not emotionally able to hold the baby right after delivery (she said no when they first asked and I took her), but I know we were out of the operating room before it was offered.[/quote]
