Hm what is the benefit of waiting till the cord is done pulsating? I've never heard of this lol with having a csection I don't think I have a say since they wanna finish the surgery ASAP of course but just curious

Look into it I thought it was amazing its so calm! I will be doing it again....I did it because my middle son is autistic and we paid 20 grand to take him for stem cell treatment 3 years ago and I figured well I'm just gonna give my baby his stem cells at birth... Also another reason I chose it is cause some people think that cutting the cord can cause lack of oxygen to the brain and can contribute to autism and when my autistic son was born I remember him having breathing issues after the cord was cut..

It's s amazing tho you get your baby and the baby is soooo calm no crying cause they are still breathing through the cord

I just read about it from the link Brandles posted, you can still do it with a c/s, it just takes longer for the cord to stop pulsating, like 20 mins.

Hm really? I am sure the doctor's here in Canada would be totally against leaving me open for 20 minutes. But I may bring it up when I see her later in pregnancy - they're uber quick in and out here

Thats true im sure the doctors would want to lower the risk of infection to you and all that jazz :)

Ya the drs here in canada won't do it one of my friends wanted to do it after I told her and they refused to do it

Ya Cinss and wanting-a-girl that's what I was thinking! But from that I've read about the eye ointment which is something that I CAN control and also interesting lol!! This is a very informative thread for me haha

If ur havin a c section there is really no reason for the eye ointment
