The Mamas did get to hold their bub for a while but it wasn't immediately. Although it only took the paed probably 2 mins to check bub before wrapping and passing to Mum, it seemed to me like a lifetime.. Then bub went to recovery with Mum but the middy took bub there and weighed them etc.. I know I have said this before but I can't possibly explain how traumatised I am from my experience of having prems that any second separated is going to affect me..

Jax - I was going to ask about delayed cord clamping too. I'll be asking about skin to skin too, I'll push more for skin to skin. Royal womens hospital are real advocates for it. When I first held the twins they really encouraged skin to skin, even with DP.. A shame I didn't get to hold Taite til he was 9 days old and Seth til 11 days old I'm grateful I got to hold them at all though..

Kaytee - I was so excited just to be going to watch a surgical procedure, but to get to witness that was a privilege . The nurses warned me if I felt faint just get close to the floor lol. I knew I wouldn't faint though, I can easily deal with stuff like that.

Forshelby - That sounds awful

Me+him+bub - That totally sux they take the bubs to special care. there is no need for that, unless Bub's health is actually compromised somehow.
