For anyone wondering, here's everything you need to know: Cord Blood - Why Delaying Cord Clamping Benefits Your Baby
To be honest, I think some hospitals lie about when the cord has stopped pulsating to hurry and get it out the way. In births I have been to, it seems VERY quick sometimes. I think it can be helpful to say you want to leave the cord for a while, without the pulsating bit so they aren't sitting there with clamps loaded ready to get it over with. They might be in a hurry, but you aren't, nor are those stem cells, iron and more for your baby.
