A member asked:

Why don't more obgyns practice delayed cord clamping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maternal Death: As i understand it, one of the leading causes of maternal death world wide is post partum hemorrhage (bleeding to death immediately after giving birth). Clamping the cord quickly reduces the risk of this.
