Mary Jane,
I would be surprised if family centered C-sections like you describe
exists anyway in the country.
Our hospital if very family centered with LDRP's but they do not
breastfeed until they are out of the OR. Most OR rooms are not that big
to accommodate more than the father. Who would be watching the other lay
people to make sure they didn't contaminate the field? The mother has a
screen up between her and the surgical field, how would you keep the
field sterile. Another thing OR's are usual cold and yes I know putting
babe next to mom hopefully would keep the baby warm. I can hear
anesthesia screaming now.
One last thing, most c-sections are done because of some problem. And
the goal is to get the baby out in good condition so many times everyone
is in a hurry.
I think the ideas are good but I don't see it happening, I know it won't
in our hospital.
