I am proposing a policy at our hospital that will allow the baby to stay
with the mom in the recovery room after a csection with epidural/spinal
anesthesia.  Does anyone do this currently in their facility and if so,
is it working well?  We sometimes have OB/GYN recovery in the same area
and some staff are concerned the OB couplet will "bother" the
gyn pts with hysterectomies,etc.  I am trying to come up with a plan
that will put the OB pt in a recovery room in L&D instead of in the GYN
area. I want the baby to be assessed in the OR then transfer in moms
arms to recovery. After recovery phase over in 1hr, the baby will go to
nsy with dad or significant other for them to bathe then go back to mom
for skin to skin warming. What do you think?
