This is mine, from my wonderful OB when she was going over my detailed birth plan. I mentioned that it was important to me that I get to have him on my chest as soon as he was born. That’s when she said this. Unfortunately, he was born with a high fever and kind of juicy/not wanting to breathe much, so we didn’t get much chest time before he was taken for bloodwork, but I was treated so nicely by the neonatologist who sent my baby back to me so I could kiss him before he left.

Thank you for sharing this. It’s so wonderful to hear of good experiences like this. I’m sure the respect and kindness you were treated with helped make a tough situation (being separated from your baby/stress of having a baby who was having trouble) a little easier to get through. I hope all was ok with him!
