I think you might be overestimating the goo/gunk whatever you want to call it. It's not that extreme. They aren't like a slimey slippery eel. It's a little bit of goo but once you have a blanket around you and bub you'll barely notice it.

But if you are worried then let the midwife know before hand. Then bubs can be passed to you - and if you don't like it they can wrap bub for you.
I bet with all the rush of happy emotions, you'll love the chance to snuggle as soon as you can!
