Delivery process

Can mummies share how’s the process? Baby is handled to mummy after birth for a while, then go for cleaning and weighing before returning to mummy for skin to skin for 1 hour? What’s the checks and jabs that will be done on day 1? Can request to defer to day 2?

Baby is placed on your tummy while the umbilical cord is cut, then taken away for a while for cleaning and weighing (in the same room). While you’re being stitched up, they can place baby in the warm incubator for a while. When you’re ready after that, then they’ll hand baby to you:) For me, there was no time limit of one hour. I had baby all the way till I moved to my ward. Checks on day 1 are the vitals, diapers and feeding. Those are important. My baby had the BCG and Hep B jabs on day 2.
