It depends on the hospital and more importantly on the obstetrician. There are many who just see c/section as an operation and they want to get on with it.
Conversley there are some who will treat your birth with respect and dignity and this means skin to skin contact and b/feeding asap where it is safe and the baby is not needing assistance. This is your right to ask for this and if it were me I would be yelling it from the rooftops and making sure they "get it" very clearly.
YOu can also ask for dimmed lights and soft music and quiet voices, slow movements etc. These are things that are very doable in theatre you just have to ask assertively and choose a care provider who respects your desires...
