Nixon The only reason appears to be policy. Given that plenty of hospitals allow skini to skin and BF'sing recovery it cannot be liability etc, otherwise they would all be subject to the same liability.

Stand your ground. it isn't 30 -45 mins - it is 30 -45 mins in stitching you up (my baby was well and truly gone by this stage) and then another 30 -45 mins in recovery. It is a long time. I had'n't even touched my son when they took him away. It was awful.

I so hope that you get that experience. It is really difficult trying to explain thsi stuff to people who haven't been through it or even contemplated it.

I have my fingers crossed for you and megan.
