ok...now i'm blue in the face trying to take in all that has been said! lol :P

correct me if i'm wrong here coz this is MY understanding....

syntocin is an option depending on the hospital policy. if it is given, cord clamping has to be done sooner than if u dont get the shot, hence, you cant wait till the cord stops pulsing before cutting it, right? and that isn't all that good coz bub may need that extra blood to get all the organs going. did i get any of that right?

now, i have another related question but will start a new thread for it so that it wont cause confusion.
