In most places I have worked it is not routine to have the babies in recovery room. The OR staff don't have the time to care for the baby and mostly the midwifery service is understaffed and they have no time in general. I know that many midwives, if they can, will stay for as long as possible to give the mum the best chance of bonding they can.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/12/2003 8:54:50 am >>> I was just curious to know if it is normal practice for newborn babies to be in recovery with their Mums after a ceasarian.... I noticed they had the baby in with the mother on the Today show this morning... and wondered if it was for television, as I remember when I stayed with my husband in recovery after leg surgery a couple of years .... a woman was in there after her caesarian - for some time - no baby in sight....therefore a very long and sad separation for mother and baby in those crucial first moments.... i'd love to hear others experiences... kind regards, Nicole ps. did the new mother appear cool and detached from the whole experience, to everyone else watching?? would have loved to have seen the difference in her responses following a homebirth..... *********************************************************************************** This email, including any attachments sent with it, is confidential and for the sole use of the intended recipients(s).
