Baby does not need to be taken from
Mum unless resus is needed apgar is Looking at colour, tone, attempt to breath, heart rate, movement. If a baby is crying and pink will be left undisturbed with mum.

Yep....what Feeb said. My last two babies also weren't weighed/measured until a couple hours after they were born, as they were put straight on my chest and stayed there I was also very lucky with my public hospital birth as I had a very unobtrusive midwife (no OB), she made a point of staying out of the way during labour and after the birth and she had all the lights dimmed. I wish all hopsitals could treat mums and bubs like that
