    It's funny isn't it that when they have to resuss a baby that they immediately cut the cord and work on the baby somewhere else when common sense you would think to resuss the baby, cord still attached on the bed with mum so that the oxygen is still available from the cord. Midwives will do that at homebirths.

    That's exactly right Kelly. Why do they feel the need to sever the only supply of oxygen some babies have. Why can't they work on bub next to mum, or is it because it would be too traumatic ?? Umm I think I'd still be distressed if my baby was on the other side of the room....
