Okay I need to say this.. this is my opinion.

Just because your baby seems healthy on the inside doesn't mean that they are going to thrive on the outside from the beginning. I think it's quite selfish of the mother to put her baby at risk for her own needs. In the end we want a healthy mother and healthy baby. For the sake of a couple of minutes checking over, no harm is done.

Would you all feel the same way if you demanded the baby be bought to you straight away for it to struggle to breathe or something, get brain damage etc. Its a decision you will have to live with for the rest of your life. And Im sure you would be the first one to sue if something like that did happen. As far as Im concerned the minute you get pregnant is the minute you put your needs last and your babies needs first.

jax: maybe you do need to talk to someone about it
