delayed cord cramping??

Question

I'm thinking I want to do delayed cord clamping! Has anyone else done this? Can share their experience?

Answer

You just ask for it, but like another poster said it's becoming pretty much common practice. There's no real "experience" with it, because they throw a baby on your chest and before you're even finished counting fingers and toes it's already over. You'll never know the difference honestly haha.

Answer

Yes, it just involves delaying cord clamping until blood has stopped pumping through the placenta- usually just a couple of minutes. Your dr/midwife should be more than happy to do this.

Answer

Did it with my son. It's only like 1-2 minutes so it's not a big issue. It's standard procedure at a lot of hospitals now.
