Just starting to think about my birth plan and have seen a few things about this. It seems really appealing to allow a natural transition of oxygen supply from placenta to breathing. I've also read that breast feeding while the cord is still attached encourages the afterbirth to come out easier.
Anyone any experience of this? And is it something hospitals are happy to do?
