The Umbilical cord is a disgusting thing.

Not everyone wants a 'natural' birth. Because, as it turns out, it hurts. There's also some risks that I'm sure you know of.
Where I live, tehy avoid c-section unless needed. But I can see why many women don't want vaginal birth

@Boooh89 their skulls aren't fully developed when they're born. Once it finishes developing, it'll look normal.

my brother and his G/f had a baby in Thailand they wouldn't let him hold his baby for a day or so and I think she had little contact with it too, we in Australia got to hold the baby after the first minute (after the apgar test) :) differs greatly between countries doesn't it :)

my youngest is called Sean he was also very blonde and bald hehe :)
@SuperMetallady Um, actually I am a registrered nurse, and I happen to work at a maternity ward here in Sweden. So YES I do know something about medicine. This is NOT how we treat the new family at "our" planned c-sections. The baby gets put on the mothers chest after the cord is cut (which isn't instantly but after a minute so that the baby recieves most of it's blood from the placenta/cord).
There is NO need to clean up, measure and weigh the baby straight away!!

@EllieBelen "Most people" who prefer an immediate check up/cleaning/ measuring-process are obviously not aware of the process that takes place in the mother/baby the hour following birth. Every minute is important!

Conclusion: My argument is not invalid.
