"At any one time up to one third of your baby's blood is in the system of their cord and placenta. If the cord is clamped straight after birth, they begin life without this blood. "
With delayed or optimal cord clamping now on the rise it is a good idea to discuss this with your care provider and possibly include it in your birth preferences.
If you would like to know more about delayed cord clamping or birth doula support you can book a Skype consultation with Doula Care Ireland to create your birth preferences or get in touch by email at info@doulacare.ie.Explore more on these topics:
