“Wait for White”
Did you know that cutting your babies cord immediately afterbirth is cutting off up to 1/3 of blood and nutrients? On your birth-plan it would be beneficial to add “delayed cord clamping “ . It doesn’t take long for this to happen and as long as baby is healthy upon delivery it can happen while baby is getting those first moments on your chest immediately following birth!#doulatips#healthybabygoals #healthydelivery#hireadoula #advocateforyourself
When considering birth plans, delayed cord clamping should be a priority. This practice keeps mother and baby together, promoting bonding in those critical first moments. Delayed clamping helps the baby transition to breathing air more effectively while ensuring they receive their full blood volume, which is crucial for their health. Benefits include enhanced oxygenation for the baby, which aids in a smoother transition post-birth. It also provides extra iron and essential stem cells that support healing and growth. Moreover, maintaining the connection between mother and baby can be comforting, as it fosters that immediate emotional bond essential for both. Consulting with healthcare providers on this can ensure a healthy and informed birth experience. Make sure to add “delayed cord clamping” to your birth plan for optimal outcomes.
