Default Re: Management of the 3rd stage of labour

very interested in what everyone thinks of this...I asked that they not clamp the cord until it stopped pulsing so that the baby could get all the beneficial blood, but I didn't realize until after he was born that pulling on the cord to help deliver the placenta was a baaaaaad idea. Again, I don't have any preceptor, so I'm not training and all dr's in the hospital and even my midwife pulled on the cord, so I don't have anyone to discuss this with. They do it just because...
