Im booked in for elective section on Friday 0730hrs - they said theyre coming in to see me at lunchtime and I said no theyre not - they fail to see what the problem is - problem is Ive been told I wont be in ward until late afternoon but they want to see the baby not me

Oh god no YANBU.

I had an elective CS with DD1 and my bloody mother was hovering by the lift waiting when I came out of recovery heading back to the ward!!

So DH and I never got that precious time alone with our new baby

Security is so high for babies these days. You can easily get them banned for the entire of Friday - tell the staff no visitors for you or baby that day (apart from DH).

tell the midwives that nobody is to see the child without your say so.

Im worried that they think they can get in and see the baby without me being there. This did actually happen with my first child

Let them get on with it. You'll be in recovery and they can sit in the restaurant and fume over the midwives telling them they're not allowed in yet. They might believe you then.

whats the point if you are in recovery? surely they cant visit then?
