I love reading the differences between the two countries on giving birth, but I wanted to share some good news with you about the U.S. Maybe they are being influenced my Europe, but my birth with Ruby was much more similar to your birth with Lily, than it was with Wes. In just 2 years the views and procedures changed a bit. First, Ruby was also laid directly on me for as long as I wanted the second she came out and they left us alone to bond, nurse, etc... Also, her first bath was not right away in the Labor room, it was several hours later in the Maternity room. Of course she was not bathed in that super awesome tub like Lily though! :) Just wanted to share with you that things are not as "sterile" and cold as they used to be over here! Hope all is well and love the updates on your life in Switzerland! :)Dan and Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372477605076494672noreply@blogger.com
