Birralee at Box Hill with DS we were together in recovery so only apart maybe 5 mins during transfer down the corridor, they encouraged skin to skin. This was last year, I wasn't seeing a specific OB. 2009 had daughter there did not get skin to skin due to insufficient staff (was e c sect at midnight and have to have a midwife in recovery with you for the baby as well as recovery nurse). My impression was that if you were having scheduled C section then would be daytime then enough staff.
