Am reading so much and as i havetn experienced it yet my questions might be silly.

Did you whip off all your clothes towards the end as a conscience thing hot etc.

Where you told too. Please tell me about it.

I was reading sheila kitzinger and others about natural hardware abotu children trying to wriggle up to feed straight away and i want to do it but didnt know if you would instintivily strip off to do this even if you didnt knwo why or if you were dressed. iykwim.

Thanks all.

None of them fed straight away as I remember but soon after.

i just wore a t/shirt type nightie,the midwife placed them on my chest as soon as they were born. only one out of the four fed straight away. one was whisked into special care, the other three looked around a bit first! there was none of this 'boob grabbing' that people often describe the midwives doing, the babies seemed to know exactly what to do! could'nt imagine any of them wiggling their way up though!
