Are you able to tell doctors not to clamp the umbilical cord right away?

yes definitely

yes

yes! do it when you get there and meet the doctor cause right at that moment you won't be able to speak properly lol

you can make a birth plan that the doctors have to follow and you can put on their delayed clamping If that's what you want.

Thanks ladies @arivera64 @madibug96 @mommyrai @6215teenmom

What are some benefits that delayed clamping have?

This is what I was looking at before I asked this and it seemed pretty good @godsjoi http://www.onetoonemidwives.org/FAQRetrieve.aspx?ID=50480

@godsjoi, I've read a lot of different benefits but it all comes down to your baby getting all that blood, so better iron levels, etc. Think I read it also reduces likelihood of jaundice
