We sent pictures that night though. I was in no shape to deal with my nutty, granola family until the next day... if that ;)</p> <p>We did have skin to skin for a 5-10 minutes after he was born, but I was in a complete daze, it took me a while to process what just happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternative-nudey-cuddles#post-92880 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:00:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 92880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh gosh..these comments are killing me, because I'm reading this! <a href="http://community.babycenter.com/post/a25798437/the_best_of_delivery_room_dramas?cpg=15&#038;csi=2274466521&#038;pd=1" rel="nofollow">http://community.babycenter.com/post/a25798437/the_best_of_delivery_room_dramas?cpg=15&#038;csi=2274466521&#038;pd=1</a> </p> <p>I'm on a high page, but you can go back to page one. someone posted it on WB..it's hilarious(ly sad). some stories make you really wonder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternative-nudey-cuddles#post-92878 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:52:25 +0000 mediagirl 92878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see any problem with you letting them know you're in labor, going through labor and then having the baby. Then, when you're comfortable with them knowing, have your hubby go out and tell them that the baby is here. They don't have to know that you have spent the last hour or two snuggling with your new little baby, not huffing and puffing to get him/her out. Seriously, are they going to be sitting outside your room, listening to you holler as you give birth? :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternative-nudey-cuddles#post-92840 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:40:22 +0000 littlebug 92840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely want to have some alone time with me, hubs, and baby before the family descends. Our family is all about 1.5 hours away, so I think we'll call/text to let them know when we go in, then call/text when baby's born and that'll be their cue to head on down. That will give us at least 2 hours for it to be just our new family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternative-nudey-cuddles#post-92695 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:14:46 +0000 Nskillet 92695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aunt pol: you're lucky! American hospitals operate much much differetly. I'm also assuming the worst cause I'm so excited at this point I can barely stand it lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternative-nudey-cuddles#post-92678 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:01:31 +0000 aunt pol 92678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: best way to deal with your mums 'fears' is to tell her you'll make her a promise if she makes you one. You'll call, as long as she promises to do what she's told and come in when you're ready!<br /> Thankfully that bit won't be an issue for us- the hospitals are super strict on visitors here- its DH/birth partner only for labour, and outside visiting hours the same. Also I think it's a cultural thing- I (HOPE I) don't know anyone rude enough to just barge on in, if I'm a few days in hosp the only visitors I'd expect are DH's parents. People will come to admire the babas when we're home. </p>
