Last time my Dr told me delayed cord clamping would give DD jaundice, too much iron, the extra blood would be too much for her. I told him I'd done my research - I wanted them to wait, I wanted the cord to stop pulsing before being cut and I did not want the shot to make the placenta come out. I wrote it in the birth plan section of my orange book, which I saw the midwife read. As soon as DD was born they cut her cord and gave me a shot. I was ****ed. She didn't cry right away - I felt like yelling that if they hadn't cut her cord she'd have a source of oxygen and they wouldn't have had a reason to take her and blow on her face with an oxygen mask.

Anyway, I guess my point is that despite what you may know, and would expect from a midwife or Dr, not everything they do or tell you is perfect.
