Hi Deeanne
Had the c/sect on Tuesday. We have our beautiful girl. She was allowed in recovery with me and DH. The hospital was very cooperative with my requests and I was very happy with the stay there.
The c/sect was my first and very interesting. The Dr. and theatre staff just chatted casually through the whole thing which was very relaxing, I didn't even know they had started the op. Just before she was born they lowered the drapes and lifted my head up so I could see her pop out. Got immediate skin to skin contact. The whole birth and stay in hospital was very pleasant, hope it all goes well for you too.

Yep - c/s on 18 Dec but Bub had to go straight up to Level 2 nursery as I had him at 35 weeks. There was a couple next to me though and I am sure they had their Bub with them (sorry but the morphine clouds the memory a little). I was only in recovery for around an hour. DH went up to the nursery for the first half hour or so but then he came down and spent at least 20mins with me before going back up to the nursery. Maybe you could call the hospital and check what the policy is? Good luck and I hope things go how you are hoping they will.
LB - Congratulations, sounds like you had a great experience and thank you for coming back in and letting me know how it all went. I had my appointment yesterday with Dr Lowe and because he`ll be away next time he booked my c/sec in yesterday so Imentioned about what happened with Matthew, he said it`s all very different now and like you he said bubs will be passed straight to me for skin to skin contact then we`ll be in recovery together so I feel so much happier now
