I've just been working n a study where I've spoken to midwives about their 
attempts to implement BFHI in their hospitals. One hospital commonly does 
s-2-s in theatre. This is addressed in antenatal classes and I suspect that 
this contributes to the fact that women have been a driver for getting this 
routinised in demanding it of obstetricians and anaethetists. I suspect that 
hearing about s-2-s in the theatre for the first time is too late.

Another couple reasons I've found for not doing STS in the OR:

-Moms don't WANT to.  I've tried with many, but the truth is that most of
them feel just horrible, especially if the OB exteriorizes the uterus for
closure.  They feel shaky and nauseated, very vulnerable just lying there on
the OR table, and not at all ready to physically handle their newborn at
that point.
