Attended a couple of caerarean sections at my
training hospital. After discussing these with my sister who is a midwife in
England realised a couple of things. First of all when the baby is birthed the
woman has a hard time seeing it. The midwife receiveing the babe takes it to
show her, but in my sisters hospital the infant resus cot is next to the womans
head and she can see everything going on for herself. Secondly the baby came
with us back to the ward and she had her wakeful time with her grandma. When the
mother came back we put the babe with her and skin to skin, but the babe was too
sleepy to feed. My question is does anyone have any studies or literature that I
can use to talk to our unit manager. Don't expect to move mountains as I am only
a student but would like to make my feelings known and maybe we can work towards
some change.
Thanks Sheena
