What happens immediately after birth? (UK)

[CVR1986]

My lg was born in theatre at 2.31am. Was 3.30 by time we were in recovery after being stitched up. Moved to ward at 6am. Daddies could visit 8am to 10pm so OH went home to sleep (48 hour labour) and came back at lunch time. No other visitors were allowed until 5pm then got kicked out at 7.
