beckoes I believe that information is incorrect. We only had DS 5 months ago at Selangor and I can assure you that we were doing delayed cord clamping with or without the injection. We discussed it at length with our OB too and it was very clear that was what we wanted and it was on our birth plan and his paperwork for the hospital. We were only going to have the injection for the placenta if the birth didn't go smoothly and if there was excess bleeding and it looked like there would be problems but even then it was very clear that the clamping be delayed. It only takes a few minutes for the cord to stop pulsing anyway and there is plenty of time to birth the placenta with our without the injection and still delay the clamping. Check this out with your OB and as I said you don't need to decide before hand what you'll do for sure, there are some things you can leave until the day and make a decision based on what kind of birth you have. Can't wait to read your BA and good luck with everything
