Hummingbird, my last pg was a c/s due to pre eclampsia at 36 +3 weeks. My whole experience was fantastic. I didn't have to push to have bubs with me in recovery they just gave her to me. That is where we had our first skin on skin time and she did the boob crawl We were able to spend as much time as we needed like that before they weighed, measured, etc,. We even had the midwives still taking photos for us. It was a very special time for DF, me and bubs that was captured on camera for us to see and enjoy later. The big thing is i went public and never had an issue with anything. Good luck
