25.01.2022 Are you familiar with why we wait for the white when clamping or cutting your baby’s umbilical cord? It’s known as delayed cord clamping. If you take a look a...t the first couple photos you’ll see what your baby’s cord may look like at birth. At that time there’s still about a 1/3 of your baby’s blood pumping through the cord and placenta. The latter photos show what the cord looks like after waiting a while. Physiologic cord camping allows for optimal transfusion of this blood which is necessary for your baby’s health. DCC results in a boost of your baby’s blood supply & higher iron levels, which is vital for healthy brain development and increased oxygenation for your baby. Midwives have always practiced delayed clamping and cutting while many providers clamp as soon as the baby is placed on moms chest. Policy’s are being updated as hospitals become more mom & baby friendly & providers are catching up on the evidence. Don’t hesitate to state your desires to delay clamping the cord if you birth in a space where this isn’t the norm. The time delayed varies by many providers, but a rule of thumb would be to wait until the cord is no longer pulsating. If you view many out of hospital birth photos & see the baby still attached to the placenta, this is why. Did you delay clamping and cutting your baby’s cord? Why or why not? #delayedcordclamping #waitforthewhite #homebirth #mymidwifetia #naturalbirth #midwife #childbirtheducation #birthprep #pregnancy : tagged in original post on Instagram.

24.01.2022 Our follow-up study on intact cord resuscitation is published as "Early View" in Acta pediatrica http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/apa.15401 The title is "Neurodevelop...mental outcomes of a randomized trial of intact cord resuscitation" and is from what we are able to understand the first study evaluating the development of children resuscitated with an intact umbilical cord. Unfortunately, the study is subject to rather large methodological limitations; on the one hand, quite a lot of the children that should have had an intact umbilical cord resuscitation did not receive it, and on the other hand, it was difficult to reach the children and their parents at the age of two. Despite this, there are indications that it would be better for the children if the umbilical cord is left alone for 3 minutes, but larger and more studies are needed to show this more convincing, such as the SAVE-studien See more

24.01.2022 Do you know what I love the most about this photo? The fact that no one is interfering with this sacred moment. Mama is holding her baby close. No one is disr...upting them. No one is checking if the cord is still pulsing, measuring babies head, weighing baby, putting a tag on baby, asking questions, giving baby a vitamin k injection, removing baby to a warming table... they are simply just left to enjoy the moment! And that is my favourite thing Photos Credit- Teresa Palacios

24.01.2022 Conclusions: A new delivery-room protocol involving mobile resuscitation equipment successfully eliminated early cord clamping in assisted vaginal deliveries of term and near-term infants. A systematic approach, like the Model for Improvement, seemed crucial for both achieving and sustaining the desired results. https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186/s12884-020-03188-0

21.01.2022 Another mother came to me after her OB said they could not delay cutting the cord for more than 60 seconds at the most because the baby’s blood would drain back... out into the placenta and severely harm the baby. Again. What nonsense is actually on the curriculum when it comes to fetal-to-neonatal circulation? None of my clients separate the baby from the placenta before a couple of hours or more have passed. And all the babies have robust circulation and oxygenation. When the baby is born, they have a heartbeat. The heart regulates the flow of blood throughout their bodies, including to and from the placenta. After birth, the uterus continues to contract and more blood from the placenta is sent to the newborn than is returned to the placenta. This blood is part of the newborn’s circulation and belongs in the baby, not the placenta. Over the next few minutes the baby’s heart helps to regulate the exchange of blood between placenta and body as the baby’s body receives its full complement of blood. This additional blood serves to overcome pulmonary vascular resistance so that more blood now goes to the lungs to aid in breathing, it creates reservoirs of glucose in the liver, and it oxygenates the brain, kidneys, and other organs. When this exchange is complete, the umbilical cord naturally begins to collapse and the vessels close. When the OB severs this connection too quickly, the baby is at a significant deficit that can have negative consequences for the first several years of the baby’s life. Although humans are incredibly resilient and many will overcome this deficit. Any OB that spouts nonsense about needing to cut the cord so the baby doesn’t bleed out has missed too many classes. They may know plenty about surgery, inductions, monitoring, and medications, but when it comes to normal human physiology this misinformation is outright dangerous. #waitforwhite #delayedcordclamping #optimalcordclosure #endobsetricalnonsense #obgyn #midwife #doula #obresident #obnurse #shitmyobsaid #educationmatters #traditionalbirthcompanion #traditionalbirthattendant

18.01.2022 "In this video, I will show you how much blood is retained in the placenta when we cut the cord immediately after birth. I'll also show you why you should insist on including delayed cord clamping in your birth plan. And I'll also show you what undisturbed fourth stage can look like in a home birth." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSZCAVnqo_Y

15.01.2022 {Anemia} . Según el Banco Mundial, la prevalencia de anemia en España en menores de 5 años supera el 13%. . La Organización Mundial de la Salud estima que alr...ededor de 273 millones de niños menores de 5 años alrededor del mundo tienen anemia. . La anemia en la infancia es un problema importante de salud que puede tener repercusiones en desarrollo psicomotor, social, el lenguaje, la coordinación y la inteligencia. . Datos experimentales y epidemiológicos nos muestran que si éstos daños aparecen, no son reversibles, incluso después de revertir los niveles de hierro. . Por este motivo y dado el problema de salud pública que es, la OMS junto a otros organismos de salud recomiendan el pinzamiento tardío del cordón umbilical para poder reducir la prevalencia de anemia en la infancia. . El pinzamiento tardío y óptimo del cordón umbilical ha mostrado aumentar los niveles de hemoglobina en sangre del bebé y reducir el riesgo de anemia durante el primer año de vida. . El pinzamiento óptimo es la mejor prevención de salud a corto y largo plazo para nuestros bebés. . . @artshapedphotography . . #anemia #anemiainfantil #pinzamientoptimo #pinzamientotardío #delayedcordclamping See more

08.01.2022 " It’s sacrilege to think that so many babies have and still do lose this blood and that the process of transition is prematurely halted by humans who at worst think they know best or more commonly just don’t think."

07.01.2022 Keeping the CORD INTACT is a resuscitation technique on its own, research has shown babies with delayed cord clamping started to breathe and establish regular breathing earlier then babies who had early cord clamping.

06.01.2022 "What if we only clamped the cord once all the blood and stem cells transfused from the placenta to the baby.."

05.01.2022 In the first few moments of life there can be a real dilemma for clinical staff. Despite the clear evidence outlining the benefits of Optimal Cord Clamping, most guidelines state that priority should be given to resuscitation of the infant. The LifeStart eliminates this dilemma. https://www.inspiration-healthcare.com//resuscit/lifestart

03.01.2022 This is 4 minutes after birth, still pumping with blood, big and juicy. Some care providers say delayed cord clamping is 1 minute, but look at this cord still facilitating a placental transfusion. All this wonderful cord bliss being delivered to baby. There is a good reason they say ‘wait for white’ so the cord is completely drained before cutting it. https://www.facebook.com//a.3535793780866/3053015891476257

03.01.2022 "Current practice recommends that babies requiring CPR at birth...undergo immediate umbilical cord clamping." We found that it was possible to do CPR while the... umbilical cord was still intact, and if cord clamping was delayed, it may reduce injury to the brain, [A/Prof Graeme Polglase] said. See more
