Holding the baby after C-sec

MrsLettie

My first baby was an emergency c-section after a failed induction. It had lasted several days and I was EXHAUSTED. The doctor did not show me my DS over the curtain and I only was able to barely touch his head and take a couple of pictures before they took him to the nursery and wheeled me to recovery. I think it really delayed my bonding with my son. This time will be different. I will have a rcs and also a tubal ligation. Is there any chance in the world that I will get to hold baby #2 before going to recovery/nursery? I see women holding their baby's being wheeled out of the operating room on delivery shows all the time and I just wondered how realistic that was.
