Default Re: Management of the 3rd stage of labour

Hey there, I'm all for leaving the cord pulsating, here are a couple of articles as a taster, Mercer has written oodles on the topic, and I've just read the guidelines today and they are a little mm wishy washy certainly don't mention when to clamp cord, just says early doesn't it? But I do like the fact that for physiological they give up to an hour before intervention, thats surely a step in the right direction x
