Skin to Skin
Silly question but after you deliver the baby how does the skin to skin contact work? Do they immediately set baby on your chest?
My Dh got to pull our baby out and put her on my belly! They wiped her down and she went under my gown. I held her for a bit but I was shaking so bad I was afraid I was gonna drop her and I wasn't numb so I was feeling some pain when the doc was sewing me up so they took her and got her stats and did her apgar. Then they wrapped her up and he held her
That's what I thought. He keeps telling me that the baby will be handed to him first right away so they can like clean me up and take care of me and stuff...idk where's he's getting that from lol...
They put the baby on the mom first. Being born changes everything the baby knows: sight, hearing, feel, temperature, smell, etc. By placing the baby on the mother's chest, the baby can hear the mom's heartbeat, among other things, and this helps the baby cope with the stress. It helps their blood sugar stabilize, and you get healthier babies.
As soon as the baby comes out daddy or who ever will cut the cord and they immediately put the baby on your chest under your gown. Usually for an hour. Take lots of pics!! I just had my third but with my second, I did like 30 min and then daddy did like 30 min because I felt really bad after birth. After skin to skin they will weigh the baby and do everything the nurses do.

my baby temper is low.... so I'm doing skin to skin
Who here has a bi racial baby?! They are gorgeous/handsome, my daughter is white and black (light skinned though)!

Raptor is doing GREAT!! He is off of everything (as you can see :)) except for a feeding tube and an IV!! I got discharged today so I could get to my baby boy! I got to hold him skin to skin and it was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
How long do they make you do skin to skin after baby is born 🤔🤔🤔 I feel like that would be all night for me, I'm not giving that baby girl up for anything 😂
They'll do whatever you want. I wanted our baby on my chest for a while each time so I could feed almost immediately.
