... Yes bubs is taken away, but this happens anyway doesnt it?
Nope it doesnt always happen. With DS they did all the cord cutting, cleaning etc with him on my belly afterward. At and some hospitals they dont take them away after CS either.

If your OB is confident enough to do a VB surely she must think the babies positioning is OK, or else she will want the position to be a certain way for her to do it - did she say anything specific?
