Ask the doctor to let you catch the baby. He/she will get the head and shoulders out and you can put your hands down there and the doc will gently hand the rest of the job over to you. Then as soon as your daughter is fully out you lift her up to the mother and you all spend a a few moments together. Let your daughters first faces, voices, and touches be of mommy and daddy instead of a bunch of people wearing surgical masks and latex gloves
I did this when my son was born and he stared me in the eyes for about 20 seconds without even blinking. Mine was the first face he saw. The experience really moved me and I am so glad I decided to do it this way.
