Another thing that i can remember was in recovery i got really upset,as bub was whipped away so quickly,i only got a glimps of him,then it was all up to DH,to look after him,for a couple of hours.I miss the bonding on the chest,first breast feed after birthing,as the Midwives let DH,give bub a bottle .
This is something that bothered me too. They brought DS over to me after looking him over, but I couldn't move and could barely see him. Then DS and DH left and I stayed in recovery. It was almost 2 hours from the time DS was born to when I got to hold him for the first time. After having the importance of that first skin-to-skin contact drummed into me, I was quite upset to miss out on that close contact after birth.

Thank you everyone for your responses - it's great to know you're not alone.
