Hi Mary,
There is always plenty of blood in placental veins - even a fair while
after the birth. I remember one time I was collecting blood for a
homeopathic preparation and got to it about an hour after the birth -
still easy to get the blood. Always makes me aware of blood exchanges
occurring bt baby and delivered placentas whilst cord still intact.
So I just wipe the cord over a good vein and insert needle - can take it
from a few veins if necessary. Sometimes it leaks a bit from the vein
afterwards - I don't jump in to it - probably 20 mins or so after
placenta is delivered.

Hello wise women, I need advice about a lotus birth, (not new to me)
who is also Rh neg. I need to get enough blood for group and
coombes. In your experience, is there sufficient blood in the
placental vessels after a physiological 3^rd stge ? What is the best
way to hndle this? I have had lots of Lotus Placentae but not with RH
neg. women. Thanks, MM
