Hi all, just feeding the milk monster now so apologies for bad one handed typing.
Delayed cord clamping means they wait till al the bloody from the placenta is back in baby, there's no reason why they can't do it apart from maybe very serious complications. They just checked it to make sure it had stopped, 15 mins tops.
I had skin to skin, could have done a breast crawl ( where baby latches themselves on but it was very uncomfortable in the water once I'd realised what was in it (sorry, Tmi!) so got out and fed for a bit on the sofa, then once I felt an urge to poo, the midwives got me to sit on a kidney bowl in the loo. Placenta came really easily, it's not a nice feeling mind you, not as bad as another baby but nearly! Mine was to quote the midwives 'huge!' and his cord very thick. Very quickly over with (unlike his head 
) and it actually fell down the loo! The poor midwife had to go fishing!
I'm glad I didn't have to have the injection but I was totally fine with having it if needed As I didn't want any problems.
A few things for after which I am now realising..I had a box of clothes for me, massive pants, jogging bottoms ans a vest etc, things for baby too, make sure your partner knows where it all is as I was do wiped out and having to desscribe where everything was when they were in a tis looking for towels and knickers etc was annoying. Also, I haven't done this yet but have a few maternity towels with some witch hazel or just slightly damp, lavender or tea tree oils are good too, in a Buffy nag inches freezer, to sit on that evening...
I won't go into details but I still can't sit down, after having a csection and the recovery from that being awful, I would say that of course this is a thousand times easier but I had underestimated just how much things down there would hurt..
He's lovely though and doing really well, this birth has totally made up for the way I felt after my daughter. I think it's actually made me appreciate the way she arrived more, in a funny way. I feel like I've accomplished something, just knowing that he was born here is so lovely too.
Good luck to you all with your plans, however theses babies arrive its so worth it! I'm sure I will check in to see how everyone is doing as I'm spending a lot of time feeding this one over the next few weeks.
