Hospitals do not say no baby in recovery to be nasty it is because of a few reaosn firslty a midwife must stay if the baby stays as theatre nurses are not qulaified to look after them and staffing in maternity units means that the midwife must return to the ward to look after other patients as they are not luckey enough generally to only have 1 pt if that was teh case they could stay with baby in recovery.

Also theatres are cold and sometimes babies can have breathing problems after a cs and sometimes mums can recover a bit differntly to others.

A cs is major abdominal surgery and can have major complications as can any surgery. If a mother has had a genreal anassthetic they can be very sleepy and unsafe to even hold a baby in bed, and after a spinal they cant move around the baby freely as numb.
