I spoke to my ob about delayed cord clamping when I was there this week. He said that if I want to then that is not a problem.
Anyway, he mentioned that there is also some research that suggests that the extra blood from the delayed clamping increases the incidence of jaundice. I had come across this briefly in something I had read before I asked him. He just suggested that I look into that too before making my decision.
So... I was wondering how many of you ladies that have delayed cord clamping have had jaundiced babies? Is it just a bit of a beat up?
