We also delayed cord clamping for DD. It didn't take very long to stop (5-10 mins?). I was too busy gazing at DD to notice anyway...lol.
I also delivered the placenta in my own time (ie without the syntocin injection). I hadn't had any drugs/hormones during labour so didn't see why my body couldn't do this part naturally too. That only took about 20 minutes or so at most. Would definitely do it that way again if I can.
