I mentioned delayed cord cutting to my doctor today, she said okay but that its basically a fad and has no real benefits for full term babies. Just wondering how everyone feels about this or if their doctors have said anything similar.
ya I've only heard of the benefits, so idk. plan on asking for it myself.
if cord blood had no benefits, there wouldn't be cord blood banking. Cord blood has amazing benefits and life saving stem cells. That should not be wasted.
I still plan to do it, theres no reason not to, just wondered what others doctors feelings were on the subject. ☺
Hmm interesting. My doctor recommended it and pretty much did it automatically. I did the delayed clamping.
My baby was super late, about 2 weeks overdue and my doctors still recommended delayed cord clamping for the benefits. @rari pretty much covered the benefits
My doctor said it was proven to help keep babies from getting anemic, and helps protect against babies getting jaundiced as well. He said delayed cord clamping and cutting makes for more alert babies who are more likely to be interested in eating within the first hour too. So my doctor basically thinks its the best for babies.
My doctor said the same thing so we didn't delay with my daughter. My research mostly showed it was beneficial for premie babies.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
You can be racist towards the race of your friends.
You can be racist towards your own race.
You can be racist towards the race of your family.
You can be racist towards the race of your spouse.
You can be racist towards the race of your kids.
Your racism doesn't just stop being racism because 'X' is said race.
Racism is Racism.
Thanks for coming to this very well needed TedTalk.
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
What the hell has happened on here? What with all the drama, all I have managed to find is that someone has said somebody is lying about being pregnant wtf ...... What the hell is going on 😐
That's the same thing my dr told me that once the cord is cut its serves no nutritional values
