We left Tehya attached to the cord til it stopped beating around 20 minutes later. She was so pink for the next few days because of all the extra blood.

Makes you wonder doesn't it. They tell us how precious cord blood is to babies, some even encouraging us to bank it, but then on the other side they are cutting of all the extra nutrients our babies could and should get just to hurry us up in delivery.


Take care
