This is a small raw portion of my birth video.
Let's normalize not clamping and cutting the cord to go take baby to a warmer.
You can give your baby a breath
You can suck out the gunk from their nose and mouth
You can talk to them
You can run their hands/feet to stimulate them.
It is so important to keep that cord pulsing and give your baby all that blood!
It is so important to have that skin to skin.
It is so important to have birth workers who are on your team and allow you to participate in your care.
