Both my c-sect and my VBAC were in the theatre and both times bub was pulled out and placed on my bare chest and warmed blankets put on top of us. After a good 15 mins or so they were taken and checked and weighted and wrapped. So it is possible!
There you go! Thats what I'll be pushing for. Did you have to ask for skin to skin or did they just do it?

Fleur - Yeah I'm hoping a planned c section will take the trauma out of it..
