So...was hoping some of you ladies on here might know more about this than me!
I've heard that you can delay cord-clamping/cutting when the baby is born to allow the blood and nutrients and whatever to pass into him/her. I kinda like the idea of this, but does that mean you can't hold the baby or have him/her cleaned up in the mean time?
I also definitely don't want to injection to make me deliver the placenta more quickly; I want to do it in my own time. Is this compatible with the above, or can you only do one or the other?
