What are the reasons for separation after c/s?

[DaintreeDream]

Te two reasons that I was given were -
1. It is to cold in recovery for a baby.
2. There is not a midwife available in recovery to be there for the baby if required, recovery staff are there for you.

Although I was told that as I was the last CS for the day that the midwife in the op with me could come to recovery with me as she wouldn't be required to set up and get ready for the next CS, my DD was taken directly to NICU so it turned out that I did not get to have her in recovery with me after all. It was so very important to me to breastfeed and not miss those precious first moments but it turned out that she had other plans.

Talk to your ob and discuss the importance to you, there ARE things they can do to accomadate you, if they choose.

ETA: I agree with rayray - if you can afford a private midwife, it is definatly the way to go.
I am hoping for a VBAC next time but I am trying to convince DH in spending the money on a private midwife to be there with me to ensure I miss out on nothing
