January 2012 Moms

Tonight we decided... (delivery related)

that we will not be donating our cord blood like we did with DD. 

After reading 3 articles we realized how important it is for our BABY to get the blood that he/she needs and that the placenta is attached after birth for a reason which is even more important than donating it. So we will not be clamping the cord until it finishing pulsing.


Do your research people!
Just because it's the norm doesn't mean it's the best :)

EDIT: For clarification, IMO "the norm" is cutting the cord right after birth.
