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...
