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?

Sadly, I didn’t get skin-to-skin right after delivery as my babygirl needed oxygen therapy; she had pooped inside and her heartbeat was beating very fast. A baby doctor was on standby to check on her too. My babygirl was then passed to me when they pushed me to the ward. Direct latch thereafter. The nurses only cleaned her at night (I gave birth in the morning). Checks and vaccination were done the next morning before I was discharged.
