will you be allowing the cord to stop pulsating before clamping?
Oh to be honest I hadn't thought about it. When we were going through the hospital system we were going to cord blood bank - but Home Birth will void that option.

I might read more about it and have a chat with mum about it.

I have to be honest here I have just fallen into Home Birth rather than had the passion that I've noticed some women have. So because of that, I feel so unprepared but looking forward to the experience iykwim?

I've just finished a Calm Birth course and the practitioner went through the benefits, and I'm lucky in that I have a mum that is very respectful of what I want and how we manage it so long as all the risks are covered.
