What does delayed cord clamping do? I asked someone on here and got no response

Hahaha forreal! But im tired of him acting like im not important enough for him to spend 5 extra minutes in my room so i can ask my questions 😒

Lmao you're gonna be there for a hot minute @annabellemaesmommy

I plan on bringing my first draft of a birth plan with me next time to talk about it with mine @annabellemaesmommy

@peanuts1mom, me too, my doc never gives me time to ask all my questions & ill be 37 weeks then so i have this semi-long list of things i am making damn sure i know before i leave that appt lol

that's what I did @annabellemaesmommy I also plan on asking at my appointment next week

@theinkedbarbie, I'll ask just to be safe but the probably do @peanuts1mom me too @mrscruz0530 I sure will. I'm asking at my 1/11 appt

@blessedmamaof3, i suggest writing up a birth plan & putting it in your birth plan. You can ask your doc if they allow it, but they should

I plan on asking for this or finding a different doctor/hospital even if it is last minute

depends on the hospital but I think must of them allow that option yes @blessedmamaof3

I had no idea. Can this be requested at the hospital @peanuts1mom

Oh ok thank you @annabellemaesmommy

it's let's all the oxygen in the blood that's still in the cord be delivered to baby so if baby isn't breathing as soon as they pull him/her out all the way they won't suffocate until they start to breathe

The placenta keeps pumping blood/nutrients into the baby so delaying clamping the cord gives them all the nutrients from the placenta
