I totally agree with you Brenda. It is part of our caring role for the time the mothers are with us to be flexible to their needs. We have a 'rooming in' policy and the babies are with mum the majority of the time, but I get annoyed when this is used as a reason NOT to take the babies when mum

Interesting thought - I was recently talking with an aquaintance who is seeing a private ob. She is already being 'primed' for C/S (at 30 wks, primip) due to gestational diabetes. I discussed some of the actual evidence with her and she said that she had learned more in 10 minutes on the

I can't agree more with this thread. My first saw me labour to 10cm and then have an em LSCS. 5 hours later, in the middle of the night, I had 3 midwives in my room trying to warm Maggie. After a couple of hours they informed me that she was getting colder and they were going to bring baby

I totally agree with mothering the mother. From a consumers perspective I couldn't imagine wanting ANYONE to take my baby away during the first few days after birth. My first was born in a birth centre and I had a retained placenta and went to theatre, I remember saying to my husband, don't let

I never in my mind thought rooming in included shutting the door and saying see you in the morning. I too take babies out for a few hours if the mother needs itor provide them with nurturing if they need it no matter what time of day or night. But to have an overnight nursery for all babies
