Because you are recovering from major surgery. Its a medical issue and recovery is completely different
With a natural or vaginal birth there is no *recovery* as in surgical recovery.
Yeah I know but I don't get what that has to do with having the baby there with you. You have a nurse in recovery with you to deal with any issues. The midwife would be for the baby and why would the baby have any other issues if it was a c/s delivery and not natural.
I am just curious!
And I agree with yogababy, who has the right to take a baby away from it's mother at birth. No-body!
