Hi Mary,
I can't speak from personal experience on this one but I remember Maggie Banks saying that she often took cord blood from placental vessels about 2 hours after the placenta had been delivered and had never had a problem getting the blood. I am assuming that these would have been with physiological 3rd stages.
