Hi all

Just after your experiences and thoughts on the seperation of mum and bubs after a c-section. From what I understand, you get skin-to-skin contact immediately following the birth, but bubs & dad then leave whist mum is in recovery (approx 45 mins?)

Whilst I am quite keen for DP and bubs to have some bonding time , I'm a little concerned that the eager grandparents and relatives will get to spend time with bubs prior to me

Can any of you suggest ways of getting around this? My initial thought was to not tell people of the date and time of our c-section, but then again, hubby wants to to the whole "It's a ......." announcement at the hospital

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
