And even 2.5 years apart, at the same hospital, it was 2 very different experiences. With Jeremiah, I didn't get to hold him until I was put back together and being wheeled to recovery. i got to hold him for a few minutes in the middle of the hallway. Then I was taken to recovery, by myself, for 2 hours. Matt stayed with Jeremiah. I was in and out of napping so the time went by fast, but I felt I missed so much bonding time being away from my baby for the first two hours of his life.<br />With Elliana, I had the option of having a clear drape, but didn't want it. Once she was out, Matt got to take a picture of her right out of my stomach. He had the option to cut her cord but didn't want to do that. Then after they cleaned her off, I got to do skin to skin with her while they put everything back in order. I ended up getting sick on the table, so they took her to the nursery, but brought her right back. I got to go to my room with her and bond. It was amazing. I also recovered much faster and was up and around that night. <br />Of course, I totally get feeling jipped. That is something you have to do heart searching and discuss with your doctor. I know there are a few really good vbac groups on facebook you could join and get their stories as well!<br />Whatever happens, trust your doctor, trust your body and know that however baby comes, is what was meant to be!Christel Petersonnoreply@blogger.com
