A member asked:
Delayed cord clamping: my doc is totally against this, but i really want to have a natural birth and have delayed cord clamping done. she says she read a study that it pumps co2 into the baby and nothing beneficial.

lots of studies: The practice is commonplace in the US where it has a long term benefit reducing some of the transient anemia of infancy. She is entitled to her opinion & you chose a doc based on your trust in their decisions. Maybe you should interview/consider another. This is only one of many issues you should trust your doc to work you through.
