Same here. I don't know WHO held my baby first besides the dr and the nurses, it's possibly my mom or my ex held him first, I just remember they took him away to the warmer and to weigh or whatever, after ex cut the cord. I got him all wrapped up in a blanket and clean, after the dr finished doing what he needed to do to finish up with me.
IF KC wanted to give the baby up for adoption and IF the other indications are true that she didn't put being a mother as #1 and IF she puts herself first, always, then i have trouble believing that she would get upset that her mom held the baby first. That sounds like the action of a woman that is all about being a mom and bonding and all that. I think KC would have been far more concerned about HERSELF at that moment, and why no one was paying attention to her. jmho tho
I tend to agree with you. After the birth of my 2nd child (my daughter), I started to hemorrhage, so at that time, I could not hold my daughter. My husband wouldn't hold her either because he thought I'd want to hold her first. I really wasn't in any condition to realize much of anything that whole night (my daughter was born on Dec. 26th at 6 AM, and I didn't get to bed on Christmas Eve, so I was also totally beat), but later on, I gave him hell. It didn't matter to me if I held her first, I was hurt that after she was born, no one held her right away; aside from the staff. I still get a bit upset when I think about it.
This was all about Casey, IMO. Once you have a child, you simply can't relate to Casey on any level. Maybe someone who doesn't have a child might not understand the bonding process, but once you do, you cannot give Casey the benefit of the doubt here. My God, I'd die for either of my children WITHOUT a moment's hesitation. I might die for others too if ever put in the position, but I guarantee you, I would probably hesitate.
