Glad to hear she got to see baby finally. That all seems a bit odd to me. When my DD was born early at 31 weeks for bad PE, they let me see her that night, about 6 hrs after she was born, as the Dr believed it would help reduce my BP and encourage milk production. I still had tubes and wires and a cathatar in, they helped me into a wheelchair, and the hospital MW wheeled me up to NICU with my cathatar bag hanging over the side of the wheelchair, my BP monitor and IV drip wheeled behind me so I was constantly monitored and accompanied by hospital staff while in NICU.
Wow, I can't believe this. My experience was so different. My BP shot up during my C-section and I spent my first night post-birth in intensive care. They made sure we had skin to skin time and to get him to latch etc before they separated us (to be fair, my BP was getting even higher in recovery so it wasn't an 'emergency' until a bit after he was born. The next day my wee son was brought to me in ICU and a lactation consultant stripped me down and put a tube on me so we could have skin time and she tried to get him feeding etc. I was medicated and had tubes for miles, catheter etc and there was no way I could hold him, but I felt really good about the ways they were coming up with to help us both.
I hope everything settles for your SIl and her wee one really quickly.
if it were me i would be up there demanding the mother be allowed to see her baby! how hard is it to wheel the bassinett to her in Recovery?! Is her husband supportive of her not seeing the baby?
What she said. That is appaulling behaviour by all medical staff involved that havent thought about the mother's and baby's needs to be together!
My BP would be through the roof if no one let me see my baby!
