    We did DCC for DS, with no Jaundice.

    Both of my DDs had jaundice and one had DDC, the other immediate clamping.

    I was very strongly for DCC after all the reading I did in preparation for birth.

    Our choice to have delayed cord clamping and believe me, it is unheard of in the country town and DD had the slightest jaundice but she also wasnt feeding well either, so perhaps that contributed too

    Thanks girls and guys, doesn't sound like too many of you have experienced any issues. It didn't seem like my ob was trying to put me off, he just said that he had come across that in his reading and I should make sure I had read both sides. If I do want it then just remind whoever is assisting when we get close to the end. Pretty sure I am delaying clamping.

    Thanks Starrysky! I had a read through some of your links and it makes sense to me. Some very passionate ladies on that facebook page!!
