MY DSIS gave birth this morning and has not even held her baby.
She was 41wks spontaneous labour arrived at hospital at 11pm last night already 9cm, she didnt deliver until 11am forceps delivery apparantly all a bit of a mess. According to her DP the baby had a temp so they took her away immediatly she is now in an incubator with trauma to her head from forceps.
She is understandably a bit traumatised wants to BF but they have told her she cant hold her all she has done is stoke her hand through the incubator.
What advice can I give her re her rights to feed the baby etc also any goog outcome stories or just hand holding really....
