What is the order of things after baby comes out?

Question

What’s the normal order in a natural vaginal birth after baby comes out? I’m guessing they clamp two ends of the cord, cut it, than flop baby onto moms chest? Or do they not even cut it first? Then while they take the baby to clean & measure you deliver the placenta?

Answer

I did delayed cord cutting.
So baby came out and got suctioned, put on my chest, after 10min then cord cut, she got weighed, had her needle, beanie on and wrapped and handed to grandma :)

Answer

Our hospital does delayed cord clamping for everyone. Baby was born and put on my stomach while they delayed clamping for a minute (her cord wasn't long enough to make it to my chest). Then they clamped and cut her cord and put her skin to skin with me while I delivered my placenta and got stitched up. When she was an hour old they took her to get weighed and her meds then my husband did skin to skin while I showered.

Answer

When my son was born they put him right on my belly and then suctioned his nose and mouth while I held him, and then they clamped his cord after a minute or two, and then my husband cut it. They put warm towels on us and I got to just hold him while I delivered the placenta and got two stitches. After about an hour they weighed and measured him right next to me, put on his little ankle bracelet, wrapped him up, and then my husband held him for a few minutes while I got cleaned up a bit, then my husband carried him while we walked over to our room. 
Every delivery will be different and depends on how baby is doing.  Ask your hospital what their policy is.
