Hi Danni

it is your right to have your baby with you in recvovery after C/s...most women are led to believe that you can't have your baby with you. The only reason you couldnt have your baby with you is if there are complications with either of you, and then safety is the issue. Otherwise simply tell them that your baby WILL be staying with you, and even tell your Dr b4 hand if possible. It is your baby afterall. You dont need a midwife to enforce this...but an empowered and fearless birth partner (which can also be a lovely doula, or even a friend if hubby doesnt want to make waves with the staff).

hope this helps
