So I'm going for the next best thing. DH is going to cut the cord, so I think we'll just wait until it feels right too.  We were also thinking about donating cord blood, but having no insurance we're having to pay in full for the birth and everything too this time round, so having the amount of money to store the blood on top of that... I also read during my research on lotus births, that some people think it's more beneficial for the baby to get all the blood out of the cord into their body as a newborn, instead of taking it and storing it where it might not be used. xx |
