Delayed cord clamping... what you want vs what a provider will do could be very different

We recommend giving a specific time (ie: 5 minutes)...or until cord stops pulsing and turns white.

We do this for our clients on their birth plan.

As long as your baby is doing well, there's no reason your baby can't have delayed cord clamping (longer than 30-60 seconds) if your want it...for vaginal birth.

For Cesarean, you can advocate for up to 1 (possibly 2) minutes. The longer you are open during surgery, the higher risk of infection, so moving the surgery along is in your best health interest.

You know the average length of induction is 3 days?
This is why we want to know as much as you're willing to tell us as your doula.
We WANT you to eat prior to your induction (good protein is ideal)!
Let's talk about your options (more than likely it's not just Pitocin)!
Do you even need the induction?

Not only do you have the right to know what station your baby's head is at, you also have the right to refuse to push until you're baby's head is lower!

Lower head = less active pushing time

If no movement with maternal effort, let's try to figure out why.
Is it baby position?
Is it that baby needs more room?

Doulas can analyze these things and assist with movement to help baby through your pelvis!

This is why we wrote "Keep Your Fingers Out of My Va**na" blog on our website!

39-week cervical exam ISN'T going to tell us anything!

We teach this at our childbirth education and feel strongly that if you don't feel the urge, there's no need to rush to push!
