check
out these articles on cord clamping
Dear list,
I would be interested (as a CBE) of what the
various policies are in the 3rd stage management - specifically cord clamping
- either in hospital or birth centre.
For a few years I have been teaching
physiol. vs managed 3rd stage to very interested parents who were
subsequently sufficiently motivated to research a physiol. 3rd stage by
themselves and put it in their birth plan. However, on the 'day' it has been
the last thing on their minds and have ended up - for various reasons (not
usually medical) - with a clamped cord at birth. Why does this proceedure
appear to be taken so much for granted when the '3rd' stage is just as an
important process as the other 2 and fall by the wayside in relative
importance???
Any answers??!!
Steph - Adelaide
CBE.
