Ladies. I asked my dr about the "gentle c-section". Please understand that you cant do certain things bc they try to keep everything as sterile as possible. So, she did inform me he can cut the cord. But he has to do it on the table after they cut it. Meaning, he can cut the rest when she's away from the operating table away from the area they are performing the procedure ( the field as they call it). But they are incorporating the skin to skin and a few things. Just thought I would share this info.
