Thank you :)

@hellokarly,

I believe so and make sure it is in your birth plan so they know it's what you want. I have a midwife and she really encourages this. She asked me about it, but I'm sure you just tell you OB that's what you want.

So you basically just ask them if they could delay the cord clamping ? @courtney.anderson I never knew this and this sounds like a great idea

@Meg ers123,

Well since he was my first I can't really compare it. But it just doesn't make sense to me to cut it early. I mean if there really is a need and your little one has to leave your side I understand but other wise why not let your baby get as much extra nutrients and oxygen it can from you? The change from womb to the world is so intense as it is I think it's nice to give them that extra help to transition. Those were my thoughts anyways. :)

I'm pretty sure I will too. @courtney.anderson what difference did it make?

Yes I'm doing it

I did it with my first and am planning on doing it with my second.

Yes it's standard practice at my hospital so we did it.

Yes and I am doing it I just posted a picture of my hospital tour questions and this was one of them

Yes and I'm doing it lol
