Another awesome article full of info from my favorite blogger.

First let me start by stating, that Carter, Les and I had an amazing hospital stay. I was so in-love with my nurses, that leaving the hospital was something I postponed as long as I could. Though imediately following Carter's birth I have regrets regarding how my long awaited meeting with my son was basically ripped from me. I felt so out of control with how things went once he arrived.
I delivered Carter 3 weeks early because I had developed Preaclampsia. Because of this, my delivery room was full of (in my mind 25 million annoying loud doctors,  staring at me... down there, waiting for me to say "HUT" He was not put on my chest like my birth plan had stated, but taken from me wrapped up tight and taken to the NICU where he waited for me to come and see him. To this day, I don't even REALLY know why Carter was in the NICU.
I did not get the immediate chance I wanted to nurse my son right away, in fact no one even told when I could... After what seemed like HOURS (though I'm sure it was only minutes) I told Les enough was enough "take me to the NICU I'm feeding my son." He did and I did, it was amazing. Though not the idealistic dream I had in mind. 
I do not blame the hosptial. They were doing what they thought was best for Carter, and they also had tons of babies in their NICU care. Next time I know, I need to take my own birth experience into my own hands. Because really, no one cares about my specific delivery as much as I do. I will not fly by the seat of my pants, because next time I will be more prepared, and no more of what to expect.
This blogger clearly lables out some of my main concerns with how my delivery went. Though my experience was overall, the most amazing adventure, I appreciate the care I was given and will never forget them... I struggle a little, and this explains why.

I do not feel as though Carter and my bond suffered, as a result of not getting to bond with him immediately. But I sure do wish I would have had that amazing first hour alone with him and Les... Next time, we will be more prepared, and speak up.
