“It’s incredible to see what a difference an extra three minutes and one-half cup of blood can have on the overall health of a child, especially four years later,” Dr. Ola Andersson told CNN.

She was the lead author of a study that found delayed cord clamping resulted in
neurodevelopmental benefits for preschoolers.

More info on that study, plus a few more benefits worth considering . . .

About Melinda

I am a Direct-Entry Midwife. I have also worked as a DONA Birth Doula and a certified Chiropractic Assistant. I have been involved in midwifery since early 1999 when I was certified as a Birth Doula through DONA, Int. and attended my first birth as a student midwife. The following year, I enrolled in the Midwifery Training Institute of American – a long distance learning course based out of Dallas, TX. During this time I learned hands-on midwifery skills under several different midwives during short-term apprenticeships. I completed three years with MTI, and then transferred to the Midwife to Be Program in South Carolina. I graduated from the Midwife to Be course in the summer of 2005 and began attending births as a primary midwife.

In 2009, I furthered my education by pursuing certification in Birth Emergency Skills Training. This intensive training is specifically geared for out-of-hospital midwives. I also maintain current certification in neonatal resuscitation and participate in local and regional continuing education opportunities.

I am a traditional midwife, not a certified nurse-midwife. I have attended over 200 births as a primary care provider and am planning on taking the NARM exam in the spring of 2019.
