It's amazing isn't it. Our midwife was all for this, she gave us heaps of information on this & highly recommended it. She too said tell the hospital you plan to do this, often they will ask you about your birth plan - they should go with what you want.
I told lots of people about the "breast crawl" and many thought it was a little weird, but if they watched that they think a bit differently I think.
Unfortunately for us things didn't go to plan & Charlie was distressed & taken away for oxygen etc right after he was born we will definately be doing this second time around, if possible.
