I've been wondering if skin to skin is necessary? or is it important? I pass out real easy and can't take big breaths in and can't hold my breath that long and I know you have to hold a push for 10 seconds. I know I won't be able to fully do a 10 second and after I finally have her I want to just lay back and close my eyes and breath slow and calm myself like I do when I have anxiety/panic attacks. but everyone's saying I should do skin to skin. I'd like to see her after she's born but would they let me see her after they weigh and clean her ? I've been told that if you don't do skin to skin , you won't see your baby for like an hour or two. suggestions ?
