Where I had my boys (1 emerg and 1 elective cs) with elect cs DS2 was put next to my face for a min for me to see and touch him then was wrapped up as theatre is cold and then I held him well suported also by DH with his face against my face, once they were stiching up skin layer DS and DH were taken to another room and then I was transfered there as well for skin to skin contact and first BF so within 20 mins of baby being born, but with me during this time and not seperated for massive length of time. DS then stayed in bed with me skin to skin all the way back to the ward, once BF was complete he was wg and dressed, but by this time he was 1 and 1/2 hrs old.

However it depends on hospital staffing levels and how many mw they have avaialble when I had DS2 I had 1 mw take me down to theatre, 1 mw in waiting bay and then in cs then another mw and a nurse in recovery (nurse did obs mw was there for BF assistance and because mw needs to be there fir baby to stay, then ward mw came back to pick me up.

Other hospitals have 1 mw take you down and recieve baby at cs and need to go within 20 mins back to ward to care for other patients or pick up next cs patient.

Good luck
