i cuddled my bubbas straight away - as soon as i pushed them out i reached down and put them on my tummy and we cuddled for hours. i insisted the midwife do all checks whilst i was holding them and they weren't measured or weighed for hours (maybe 6 hours) later. i don't know what the hurry is to do that sort of thing for me i don't want to give them up and if you insist the midwives dont argue. i have been lucky though that neither were sick when born so didn't need to be taken away.
