Skin on Skin should definitely be on the cards hun...not so sure about delayed cord claping with a c-section though......we asked with ours being a planned c-secion and were told no because they like to leave the uterus open for as short a time as possible becuase of the risk on infection. So they like to get bubs out asap, gt the placenta out give it all a good washout and then stitch up asap, the longer you are open the greater the infection risk. I have heard of one doctor in the US who would do delayed cord clamping in a c section but haven't heard of anyone here.

We were lucky though, even though we knew our bubba needed to go to special care nobody rushed us...he was checked by the paed, wrapped and placed on my chest where he stayed while they stitched me up....he was handed to hubby while they transferred me off the operating table onto the bed and then given back to me straight away in recovery...we got to have a feed in recovery and he travelled up to the ward on the gurney with me....we said bye at the SCN doors and he was taken in and given his bed but until then we hadn't been separated so I think we were very lucky in that respect.

If I had asked specifically for skin on skin Iam sure they would have accomodated that too.
